Other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias - what does this mean
Other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias occur when the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own red blood cells, leading to anaemia. this is usually caused by an abnormal production of antibodies that attach to the red blood cells and mark them for destruction by the immune system.
What happens during the disease - other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias
Other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias are a group of conditions in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys red blood cells, leading to anaemia. this occurs when antibodies produced by the immune system bind to the surface of the red blood cells, causing them to be destroyed by the body's own defence mechanisms. this can lead to a decrease in the number of red blood cells, leading to anaemia and its associated symptoms.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Peripheral Smear Examination
- Serum Bilirubin Level
- Reticulocyte Count
- Autoimmune Screening Tests
- Bone Marrow Biopsy

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the destruction of red blood cells and improve the body’s ability to produce new red blood cells.
- Prescribing corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
- Prescribing medications to suppress the immune system.
- Administering intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to reduce the autoimmune response.
- Administering blood transfusions to replace lost red blood cells.
- Prescribing medications to stimulate the production of red blood cells.
- Using phototherapy to reduce the destruction of red blood cells.
- Surgery to remove the spleen, if necessary.
17 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias - Prevention
Other autoimmune haemolytic anaemias can be prevented by avoiding environmental triggers such as infections, stress, and certain medications. avoiding exposure to toxins, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in regular exercise can also help to prevent the development of autoimmune haemolytic anaemias.
