We report a case of hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with the use of cyclosporine in a heart transplant recipient. The patient manifested many classic signs and symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome, and a diagnosis was confirmed by kidney biopsy. Treatment with plasma exchange was effective in halting the hemolysis, but renal function failed to improve. Rechallenge with cyclosporine caused recurrence of microangiopathic hemolysis. Because of concerns regarding allograft rejection, an experimental immunosuppressive agent, RS-61443, was used that was effective in controlling rejection and was not associated with recurrence of hemolytic uremic syndrome.
