Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare cause of anemia, but it is crucial to consider in patients with specific conditions. This review details AIHA classifications, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Red blood cell (RBC) autoantibodies are uncommon causes of anemia.
  • Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a significant consideration in hemolytic anemias, particularly with co-occurring conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the demographics, etiology, clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, and treatment options for various classifications of AIHA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on AIHA classifications.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • AIHA classifications include warm AIHA, cold agglutinin syndrome, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, mixed-type AIHA, and drug-induced AIHA.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical presentation and serologic work-up, with autoantibody characteristics defining clinical entities.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding AIHA subtypes is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
  • Early consideration of AIHA in at-risk patients improves patient outcomes.
