Treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemias.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a relatively uncommon disorder caused by autoantibodies directed against self red blood cells. It can be idiopathic or secondary, and classified as warm, cold (cold hemagglutinin disease (CAD) and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria) or mixed, according to the thermal range of the autoantibody. AIHA may develop gradually, or have a fulminant onset with life-thre...
متن کاملAutoimmune hemolytic anemias and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
The hallmark of the autoimmune hemolytic anemias (AIHAs) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is shortened red blood cell survival. Although AIHA and PNH share the critical feature of shortened red cell survival, the mechanisms underlying this characteristic differ significantly between the two diseases. In the case of AIHA, autoantibodies directed against the patient’s own red blood c...
متن کاملHow I treat autoimmune hemolytic anemias in adults.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a heterogeneous disease with respect to the type of the antibody involved and the absence or presence of an underlying condition. Treatment decisions should be based on careful diagnostic evaluation. Primary warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemias respond well to steroids, but most patients remain steroid-dependent, and many require second-line treatment. Curre...
متن کاملNormocytic Anemia: Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), Drug-Induced Hemolytic Anemia and Rh Disease
Hemolytic anemia is characterized by intravascular and extravascular destruction of erythrocytes. It manifests if the production of the erythrocytes in the bone marrow is slower than their degradation. A first good differentiation of the several forms of hemolytic anemia can be made between ‘hereditary’ and ‘acquired’. In this article, the most important forms of acquired hemolytic anemia are p...
