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]
