  2. Neonatal isoerythrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_isoerythrolysis

    Kittens obtain the majority of their immune response from the colostrum, and are not born with a strong immune response. When they absorb the mother's antibodies against their blood type it causes lysis of the red blood cells leading to anemia. Symptoms include lethargy, weakness, depression, pale mucous membranes, fever, and blood in the urine.

  3. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    The direct Coombs test is used to test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a condition where the immune system breaks down red blood cells, leading to anemia. The direct Coombs test is used to detect antibodies or complement proteins attached to the surface of red blood cells. To perform the test, a blood sample is taken and the red blood cells ...

    Isoimmunization occurs when the maternal immune system is sensitized to red blood cell surface antigens. The most common causes of isoimmunization are blood transfusion, and fetal-maternal hemorrhage. [16] The hemolytic process can result in anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal thrombocytopenia, and neonatal neutropenia. [5]

    Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a novel treatment for immune-mediated diseases and little research has been done for the effectiveness of TPE and patients with IMT. [15] TPE requires removing the patient's plasma which contains antibodies and replacing it with fluids such as sodium chloride , frozen plasma, packed red blood cells, and ...

    Despite the presence of antibodies, the immune system fails to control the virus, resulting in severe clinical outcomes, including lymphoma, leukemia, fibrosarcomas, various anemia (immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, pure red cell aplasia), reproductive issues, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disease and other (e.g ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_anemia

    Treatment depends on the type and cause of the hemolytic anemia. [ 2 ] Symptoms of hemolytic anemia are similar to other forms of anemia ( fatigue and shortness of breath ), but in addition, the breakdown of red cells leads to jaundice and increases the risk of particular long-term complications, such as gallstones [ 4 ] and pulmonary ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_cold_hemoglobinuria

    Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) or Donath–Landsteiner hemolytic anemia (DLHA) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia featured by complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis after cold exposure. [1] It can present as an acute non-recurrent postinfectious event in children, or chronic relapsing episodes in adults with hematological malignancies ...
