Resolution of spur cell Anemia with liver transplantation: a case report and review of the literature.
Transplantation, 1998Co-Authors: Aniruddha A. Chitale, Richard K. Sterling, Anthony B. Post, Bernard J. Silver, David C. Mulligan, James A. SchulakAbstract:Spur cell Anemia is an Acquired Hemolytic Anemia, characterized by an increased percentage of abnormally shaped erythrocytes that are known as acanthocytes. The erythrocytes have numerous spicules irregularly distributed over the cell surface. Spur cell Anemia has been described to occur in several conditions, including cirrhosis. We present an unusual case of a young patient with hemochromatosis, alcohol abuse, decompensated cirrhosis, and spur cell Anemia who had a spontaneous resolution of the spur cell Anemia after orthotopic liver transplantation. This finding suggests that the diseased liver may contribute to transformation of the erythrocyte to the spur cell.
