Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an autoimmune disorder which occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst , leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in circulation . The lifetime of the RBCs is reduced from the normal 100–120 days to just a few days in ...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia: D59.0-D59.1: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a type of hemolytic anemia where the body's immune system attacks its own red blood cells (RBCs), leading to their destruction . [28] [29] Types of AIHA include warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, cold agglutinin disease, and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
Most people with CAD have symptoms of hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells, causing low levels of red blood cells). [8] However, the number of symptoms and severity of symptoms may depend on how severe the anemia is. Signs and symptoms of hemolytic anemia may include: [4] Tiredness ; Dizziness; Headaches; Cold hands and feet; Pale skin
Cold agglutinins develop in more than 60% of patients with infectious mononucleosis, but hemolytic anemia is rare. Classic chronic cold agglutinin disease is idiopathic, associated with symptoms and signs in relation to cold exposure.
Pro cycler Ellen Noble dealt with thyroid autoimmune symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath but was dismissed. Here's how she advocated for herself. ... Despite having symptoms come and go ...
Acquired hemolytic anemia is also encountered in burns and as a result of certain infections (e.g. malaria). [15] [18] Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), sometimes referred to as Marchiafava-Micheli syndrome, is a rare, acquired, potentially life-threatening disease of the blood characterized by complement-induced intravascular ...
