| Popis: | Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MHA) is a prominent feature of many forms of generalized vasculitis, especially those associated with rapidly progressive renal failure. A patient with Wegener's granulomatosis and MHA is described. Treatment with heparin, prednisone and azathioprine was associated with a complete remission. It is suggested that MHA should be considered a serious but potentially reversible complication in advanced Wegener's granulomatosis. |
