Suppressed erythropoiesis after ABO-minor-mismatched living-donor lobar lung transplantation

J Heart Lung Transplant. 2004 Jun;23(6):767-9. doi: 10.1016/s1053-2498(03)00233-x.

Abstract

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.
