Hematological complications in renal transplant recipients include anemia, leukopenia, and post-transplant erythrocytosis (PTE). There are numerous causes for these which include immunosuppressive drugs, viral infections, etc. We report here a hepatitis C (HCV)-positive case who developed PTE while receiving rapamycin. As both HCV infection and rapamycin through different mechanisms can produce anemia, this case report highlights the rarity of erythrocytosis.
肾移植受者的血液学并发症包括贫血、白细胞减少症和移植后红细胞增多症(PTE)。这些并发症有多种原因,包括免疫抑制药物、病毒感染等。我们在此报告一例丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)阳性患者,在接受雷帕霉素治疗期间发生了PTE。由于HCV感染和雷帕霉素通过不同机制均可导致贫血,本病例报告凸显了红细胞增多症的罕见性。
