Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Complicated by Portal Vein Thrombosis in a Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipient: A Case Report. (PubMed, Transplant Proc) - Sep 27, 2026 - "Tacrolimus dose was reduced and simultaneous high-dose methylprednisolone (4 mg/kg/d intravenously), rituximab, and therapeutic heparin were initiated. This case demonstrates that post-transplant AIHA can precipitate PVT through a hemolysis-driven hypercoagulable cascade involving Protein S consumption, thrombocytopenia, and pro-coagulant erythrocyte microparticle release. Systematic coagulation profiling and Doppler ultrasonography at AIHA onset are mandatory in pediatric liver transplant recipients to prevent potentially fatal vascular complications."
