Case Report: Exchange transfusion for hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury associated with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with raltitrexed and oxaliplatin in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma
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.
