Fatal intravascular immune hemolysis induced by hydrochlorothiazide. 1984

M L Beck, and J F Cline, and J T Hardman, and L S Racela, and J W Davis

A patient receiving antihypertensive therapy developed acute intravascular hemolysis and died. Hemolysis was due to an immune process associated with antibody to thiazide. Only two other cases have been reported. Thiazide-induced hemolysis appears to be confined to those patients treated concommitantly with methyldopa.

D006852 Hydrochlorothiazide A thiazide diuretic often considered the prototypical member of this class. It reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules. This results in increased excretion of water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. It is used in the treatment of several disorders including edema, hypertension, diabetes insipidus, and hypoparathyroidism.
