Abstract

In children hemolytic anemia is caused either due to intrinsic red cell defects like membranopathy/enzymopathy or acquired by extrinsic factors like autoantibodies. We are reporting a 3 year old referred to our center as a renal disease, with edema, high BP readings and red colored urine, which on our evaluation turned out to be autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). AIHA, though rare in children, needs to be diagnosed early and followed closely as malignancy like Hodgkins Lymphoma sometimes has similarly deceptive initial presentation.
