Late post-transplant erythrocytosis in a hepatitis C-positive allograft recipient on sirolimus

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...

description 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.
