Overview
CT scan is useful as an adjunct in the workup of autoimmune hemolytic anemia but is not used in the primary evaluation.
CT
- CT scan is useful as an adjunct in the workup of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, specifically
- For assessment of splenomegaly and
- For quantitation of spleen size.
- CT scan is also useful for assessing for thrombosis, which is a complication of active hemolysis.
- Thrombosis of the mesenteric vasculature, such the portal vein or splenic vein, can be assessed via CT scan of the abdomen.
- CT scan of the chest can be done to assess for volume overload conditions associated with frequent transfusion requirements in autoimmune hemolytic anemia.[1]
