Department of Hematology, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel.

A 44-year-old woman experienced recurrent episodes of massive intravascular haemolysis complicated by acute oliguric renal failure over a period of 22 years. The haemolysis was induced by IgG warm type autoantibody and complement and responded to corticosteroid therapy. The renal failure was treated effectively by dialysis. To our knowledge, such a life long occurrence of recurrent intravascular haemolysis induced by IgG warm type autoantibodies together with renal failure has not been reported before.
