title: Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and renal impairment following autologous bone marrow transplantation: a case of hemolytic uremic syndrome?
abstract: Thrombotic microangiopathy, which encompasses both thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), is a severe and life-threatening complication following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). It has been reported after allogeneic BMT but may also occur after autologous BMT. Here we describe a case of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and progressive renal failure subsequent to autologous BMT.
