This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes D60-D61 within Chapter III: Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs, and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism should be included in this category.
AERD affects an estimated 0.3–0.9% of the general population in the US, including around 7% of all asthmatics, about 14% of adults with severe asthma, and ~5-10% of patients with adult onset asthma. [2] [3] [8] AERD is uncommon among children, with around 6% of patients, predominantly female, reporting disease onset during childhood. [9]
Brittle asthma is a type of asthma distinguishable from other forms by recurrent, severe attacks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] There are two subtypes divided by symptoms: Type 1 and Type 2, [ 4 ] depending on the stability of the patient's maximum speed of expiration, or peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).
Those with type I Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia often progress to bone marrow failure and aplastic anemia around age 1, while those with type II usually don't develop bone marrow failure or aplastic anemia till age 5. About 90% of those with type II CAMT develop pancytopenia. [3]
Other situations such as liver disease, post-transfusion or immunoglobulin administration, renal disease, and malignancy can cause a positive direct antiglobulin test. [1] If both complement C3 Antibodies and immunoglobulin G are positive or if only immunoglobulin G is positive then warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia must be considered ...
Before iron deficiency anemia sets in, “the body will do everything it can to retain the right number of red blood cells. So, it will deplete the storage iron before it depletes the red blood ...
In drug-induced nonautoimmune hemolytic anemia, red blood cells (RBC) are destroyed from various non-immune mechanisms such as direct oxidative stress from certain drugs. [1] This is in contrast to drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia where certain drugs result in the formation of antibodies against RBCs, resulting in hemolysis.
