Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA)
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is the most common type (60-70%) of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). In most cases, wAIHA is due an immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibody that binds to red blood cells (RBC), leading to hemolysis.
Current recommendations for managing people with wAIHA are largely based on case series and retrospective studies involving off-label medications. Also, while there are currently no medications specifically approved to treat wAIHA, data are emerging on new... |
