Passenger Lymphocyte Syndrome: A Rare Case of Anemia After Liver Transplant.

Passenger lymphocyte syndrome is a rare presentation of posttransplant anemia caused by donor antibodies that target recipient red blood cells. We present a classic case of passenger lymphocyte syndrome in a liver transplant recipient who developed anemia due to immune-mediated hemolysis. He presented 3 weeks posttransplant with shortness of breath and fatigue and was found to have severe anemia with a significant reduction in hemoglobin levels.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis and pancreatic cancer: A retrospective cohort study of United States veterans.

While some European studies have suggested an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in PSC patients, other studies have not. And these studies did not well account for presence or absence of concomitant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
