Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an uncommon group of disorders that can occur at any age. These disorders affect women more often than men. About half of the time, the cause of autoimmune hemolytic anemia cannot be determined (idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia). Autoimmune hemolytic anemia can also be caused by or occur with another disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, and rarely it follows the use of certain drugs, such as penicillin.

Antibodies Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia occurs when certain drugs start an immune reaction against red blood cells. In some instances, the drugs interact with the red blood cell membrane, causing the cell to become antigenic. This means the body identifies these cells as not belonging to the body.

Other Resources Other Blood Diseases Hemolytic Anemia Signs and Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Signs and Symptoms Hemolytic anemia is a term used for a variety of anemias characterized by a low count of red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced by stem cells in bone marrow. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in the blood stream throughout the body. Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells have an abnormally short life span. They're destroyed faster than bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is "hemolysis." Symptoms of hemolytic anemia may vary with each child. The following are some of the most common symptoms: Abnormally pale skin as well as jaundice or yellowing of skin and eyes Confusion Dark colored urine Dizziness, weakness or intolerance to physical activity Enlarged spleen and liver Fever Heart murmur Increased heart rate These symptoms may be similar to other blood conditions and medical problems. Your child's doctors will conduct several tests to diagnose the disease. There are more than a dozen conditions characterized by hemolytic anemia. Certain forms of hemolytic anemia are "inherited" or "congenital," such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia. Others are "acquired" and can be triggered by certain drugs, infections or other environmental exposures.

There are a number of specific types of hemolytic anemia which are described individually. Alternative Names: Anemia - hemolytic Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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). Causes of hemolytic anemia include infection, certain medications

For a Complete Report Anemia, Hemolytic, Cold Antibody Important It is possible that the main title of the report Anemia, Hemolytic, Cold Antibody is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Synonyms Anemia, Autoimmune Hemolytic Cold Agglutinin Disease Cold Antibody Disease Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Cold Antibody Hemolytic Anemia is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells by the body's natural defenses against invading organisms (antibodies). Normally, the red blood cells have a life span of approximately 120 days before they are removed by the spleen. In individuals with Cold Antibody Hemolytic Anemia, the red blood cells are destroyed prematurely and bone marrow production of new cells can no longer compensate for their loss. The severity of the anemia is determined by the length of time that the red blood cells survive and by the capacity of the bone marrow to continue new red blood cell production. Immune Hemolytic Anemias may be subdivided by the temperatures at which the antibodies destroy red blood cells. As its name implies, Cold Antibody Hemolytic Anemia occurs at temperatures of approximately to 10 degrees centigrade (while Warm Antibody Hemolytic Anemia, for example, occurs at temperatures of 37 degrees or higher).
