Objective:

To investigate the occurrence and management of severe hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma following hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with raltitrexed and oxaliplatin.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The patient experienced severe hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury suspected to be induced by oxaliplatin, with laboratory results indicating a substantial increase in hemolytic markers.
    • Exchange transfusion was initiated based on clinical manifestations and laboratory findings, leading to satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
    Interpretation:

    This case presents severe adverse reactions, such as hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury, following oxaliplatin administration in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Limitations:
    • This is a single case report, limiting generalizability to a broader patient population.
    Conclusion:

    This case highlights the need for awareness of oxaliplatin-related complications in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
