  2. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    Coombs reagent (also known as Coombs antiglobulin or antihuman globulin) is used in both the direct Coombs test and the indirect Coombs test. Coombs reagent is antihuman globulin . It is made by injecting human globulin into animals, which produce polyclonal antibodies specific for human immunoglobulins and human complement system factors.

  3. Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_anemia

    A positive Coombs test is a relative contraindication to transfuse the patient. In cold hemolytic anemia there is advantage in transfusing warmed blood. In severe immune-related hemolytic anemia, steroid therapy is sometimes necessary.

  6. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_hemolytic_anemia

    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 ().

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose-6-phosphate_de...

    A "direct antiglobulin test" (Coombs' test) – this should be negative, as hemolysis in G6PD is not immune-mediated; When there are sufficient grounds to suspect G6PD, a direct test for G6PD is the "Beutler fluorescent spot test", which has largely replaced an older test (the Motulsky dye-decolouration test). Other possibilities are direct DNA ...

  8. Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_antibody_autoimmune...

    The most common antibody isotype involved in warm antibody AIHA is IgG, though sometimes IgA is found. The IgG antibodies attach to a red blood cell, leaving their F C portion exposed with maximal reactivity at 37 °C (versus cold antibody induced hemolytic anemia whose antibodies only bind red blood cells at low body temperatures, typically 28–31 °C).
