Overview
Ultrasound of the abdomen is useful in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia to assess for spleen size and mesenteric thrombosis.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound of the abdomen can be performed in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia to assess for spleen size and to assess mesenteric thrombosis.[1]
- These indications are similar to the indications for CT scan, although ultrasound is the preferred initial imaging modality given that ultrasound is less expensive.
- Ultrasound can also be used to assess for deep vein thrombosis, which can occur in patients with active hemolysis, since active hemolysis is a risk factor for thrombosis.
