Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Hemolytic anemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to compensate for premature destruction of red blood cells by increasing their production. When the marrow is able to compensate, anemia does not occur. There are many types of hemolytic anemia, which are classified by the location of the defect. The defect may be in the red blood cell itself ( intrinsic factor ), or outside the red blood cell (extrinsic factor).

This site is dedicated to her and all the other dogs and their families who struggle with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. WHAT IS AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA (AIHA)? Lets define the terms of the disease one at a time. "Autoimmune" literally means the immunity against the self."Hemolytic" is the destruction of red blood cells. "Anemia" is a clinical sign, not a disease. Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBC's) or the amount of hemoglobin, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen- carrying capacity of the blood. spherocyte occurs. Finding spherocytes on a blood smear almost guarantees that some form of hemolytic anemia is occurring. Since this disorder does not stop the production of red blood cells, there are usually immature red blood cells in the bloodstream which can be detected on the blood smears as well. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA?

A uto I mmune H emolytic Anemia Information for Patients and Veterinarians What is AIHA Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells (RBC). A pet suffering with AIHA will have a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells within the blood. This is termed anemia. The normal range for the packed cell volume (PCV) or hematocrit is 37-55% (the ratio of the volume of packed red cells to the whole blood). AIHA is classified as a “primary” immune disease. No underlying cause of the immune destruction can be found after an exhaustive clinical and laboratory evaluation. A “secondary” disease is called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). IMHA refers to all anemias that occur when the immune system inadvertently destroys its own blood cells secondary to an immune attack directed against an underlying condition such as cancer, endocarditis, heartworm or by unidentifiable causes as in AIHA. What are the Symptoms of AIHA?

Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is hemolysis. There are two types of hemolytic anemia, including the following: intrinsic - the destruction of the red blood cells due to a defect within the red blood cells themselves. Intrinsic hemolytic anemias are often inherited, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. These conditions produce red blood cells that do not live as long as normal red blood cells. extrinsic - red blood cells are produced healthy but are later destroyed by becoming trapped in the spleen, destroyed by infection, or destroyed from drugs that can affect red blood cells. The following lists some of the causes of extrinsic hemolytic anemia, also called autoimmune hemolytic anemia: infections, such as hepatitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), typhoid fever, E. coli, or streptococcus

10. Supplemental Garlic: Cat Nutrition Facts From Feline Future Article on Heinz body anemia and hemolytic anemia caused by garlic, onions, shallots, and related plants, fed to cats. http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/garlic.php

The Backyard Predator selected articles from our archives helping you to better understand your cat With today's trend of resorting to dietary modification and the addition of herbs and supplements into our meal-plan as a natural way of combating and preventing common human ailments, one should be very careful in how far the companion cat can be included in these recommendations. Many natural substances which aid human ailments may have an equally beneficial effect on the cat, but equally many can also have detrimental effects on the cat and her health. The use of garlic and other members of the Lily family such as onions, shallots, and chives in the cat's diet is not advised. Ingestion of these plants in a raw, cooked, or dried form can lead to damage of the red blood cells, which are rejected by the body from the bloodstream, and a continued use of garlic or onions can eventually result in hemolytic anemia. If the anemia is not controlled by discontinuing the use of the plants, it can potentially lead to death. Less significant but important is that raw garlic and onions irritate the mouth, esophagus, and stomach and can cause or exacerbate ulcers. "An alkaloid, N-propyl disulphide, present in both cultivated and wild onions, chives, and garlic, affects the enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, in red blood cells that interferes with the hexose monophosphate pathway. Oxidation of hemoglobin results because there is either insufficient phosphate dehydrogenase or glutathione to protect the red blood cells from oxidative injury. The resulting formation of Heinz bodies within erythrocytes is characteristic of onion poisoning. (...)"

17. AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA: Lilli's Legacy A personal and comprehensive guide to canine AIHA, including supportive care and choosing a knowledgeable veterinarian. http://www.peppypaws.com/LillisLegacy.html

Lilli's Legacy A Tribute to Lilli Now at peace my body lies, but within these pages my spirit flies! Wanting Lilli to exist outside of my memory, Lilli's Legacy was prepared to both memorialize her and to guarantee that her death was not in vain. Lilli experienced a peracute onset of AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia on August 1, 1999. Without delving into specifics, she exhibited persistant autoagglutination and symptoms of intravascular hemolysis. After exhausting almost all therapeutic options, Lilli succumbed on December 1, 1999. She was an absolute joy every minute of her life and not a day went by that I wasn't amazed by her intelligence, pureness of spirit and sweetness. The treacherous act Lilli's body played upon itself and the resulting emptyness in our home is overridden by our great memories of her. I feel so blessed to have been her Mom. Hoping to use the knowledge gained during our experience to benefit someone else, Lilli's Legacy summarizes information compiled from numerous articles and veterinary manuals. Please use this as supplemental information to help you make informed decisions while discussing your dog's care with your veterinarian. Table of Contents Autoimmunity Who gets AIHA?
