Suppressed erythropoiesis after ABO-minor-mismatched living-donor lobar lung transplantation.
Anti-A and/or anti-B antibodies synthesized by lymphoid tissues contained in ABO-mismatched solid organ grafts have been reported to cause hemolytic anemia, but not suppressed red blood cell production. A case of living-donor lobar lung transplantation is presented in which suppression of erythropoiesis was associated with ABO mismatched organ transplantation.
