We experienced a case of thiopental-induced hemolytic anemia with impairment of renal function after open heart surgery. The diagnosis was suggested by clinical features, CBC, urinalysis, transfusion reaction study and chemistry, and finally established by immunohematologic study. We detected antibody against thiopental in the patient’s serum (end-titer:1:16). The review of literature was made briefly.
