We report on a 61-year-old woman with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who developed a hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)-like episode following nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Macrohematuria, hypertension, hemolytic anemia with red cell fragmentation, thrombocytopenia, and progressive renal insufficiency were observed after thawed peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) infusion. Although transient systemic hemolysis is known to occur during dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-cryopreserved stem cell infusion, HUS caused by DMSO has not been described in the literature. We speculate that one of the triggers of the HUS-like episode could have been renal microangiopathy caused by the long-term administration of interferon-alpha before the stem cell transplantation.
