In recent years, as more is known about the immune system, these entities have become better understood and their treatment improved. In this section, we will discuss three areas in which this progress has been apparent. In Section I, Dr. Peter Hillmen outlines the recent findings in the pathogenesis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), relating the biochemical defect (the lack of glycosylphosphatidylinositol [GPI]-linked proteins on the cell surface) to the clinical manifestations

CLINICAL TRIALS Search This Site 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: 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.

Extractions: Also covered by: MSNBC WSJ Online (Subscription Req.) ROCKVILLE, Md., July 20-The FDA announced today new warnings on the Genentech psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab) following reports of four cases of hemolytic anemia diagnosed four to six months after patients started on the monoclonal antibody. Two of the cases occurred in clinical trials of Raptiva, and two were reported as postmarketing events, the FDA said. In a "Dear Healthcare Provider" letter issued July 20, Genentech reported that in two severe cases, hemoglobin levels dropped to 6 and 7 g/dL. "A causal relationship between Raptiva and these events has not been established but cannot be excluded," the letter said. The package insert for Raptiva was amended to include a warning to discontinue the drug should hemolytic anemia occur. In addition, the information sheet has been updated to include in the warnings section news of postmarketing reports of necrotizing fasciitis, tuberculous pneumonia, bacterial sepsis with seeding of distant sites, severe pneumonia with neutropenia, and worsening of infections such as pneumonia despite antimicrobial therapy.

http://webcenter.health.webmd.netscape.com/hw/anemia/nord770.asp

Extractions: Warm Antibody Hemolytic Anemia is an 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 an individual affected with Warm 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 time the red blood cells are allowed to survive and by the capacity of the bone marrow to continue new red blood cell production. Immune Hemolytic Anemias are subdivided by the optimal temperature at which the antibodies destroy red blood cells. As their names imply, Warm Antibody Hemolytic Anemia occurs at temperatures of 37 degrees centigrade or higher while Cold Antibody Hemolytic Anemia usually occurs at approximately to 10 degrees.

Krimer, DVM, DVSc Class of 2003 (Hiers) and Department of Pathology (Latimer, Bain, Krimer), College of Veterinary Medicine, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-7388 Introduction Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is an accelerated destruction of red blood cells due to the attachment of immunoglobulin and/or complement to the erythrocyte membrane. It is a common cause of severe anemia and hemolysis in dogs with a mortality rate of over 40%. IMHA can be classified as primary or secondary depending on the cause of the red cell destruction. Secondary IMHA involves hemolysis due to an immunologic reaction to a "non-self" antigen. Possible causes include infection, chemical agents, drugs, or neoplastic disease. Primary IMHA is synonymous with idiopathic and autoimmune-mediated hemolytic anemia (AIHA). There is a true autoantibody specific for the self-antigen of the red cell membrane. Normally the immune system recognizes self-antigen and does not respond to it. This is the principle of self-tolerance. It is thought that when something triggers a change in immunoregulation, such as infection, there may be a loss of self-tolerance and subsequent autoimmune disease. There is a genetic predisposition for the development of AIHA

Hemolysis is the destruction or removal of red blood cells from the circulation before their normal life span of 120 days. While hemolysis can be a lifelong asymptomatic condition, it most often presents as anemia when erythrocytosis cannot match the pace of red cell destruction. Hemolysis also can manifest as jaundice, cholelithiasis, or isolated reticulocytosis. Pathophysiology There are two mechanisms of hemolysis. Intravascular hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells in the circulation with the release of cell contents into the plasma. Mechanical trauma from a damaged endothelium, complement fixation and activation on the cell surface, and infectious agents may cause direct membrane degradation and cell destruction.

Shah Acquired hemolytic anemia are a group of disorders in which premature destruction of the red cells results from an extra corpuscular abnormality i.e. defect outside the red cell, unlike congenital hemolytic anemia in which the defect is intrinsic to the red cell. Normal compatible red cells transfused to a person with acquired hemolytic anemia are destroyed rapidly but the patients cells transfused to a normal recipient have normal survival.

http://www.gcvs.com/internists/imha.htm

Extractions: What is Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia? Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) is a serious and often life threatening disorder in dogs and cats. IMHA results from an inappropriate immune response to the animals own red blood cells. IMHA can be classified as primary or secondary. With primary IMHA, the immune system malfunctions and begins to treat the red blood cells as if they were foreign invaders and begins to produce antibodies against the red blood cells. This response is similar to what would occur against bacteria. No underlying cause for this inappropriate reaction can be identified. With secondary IMHA, an underlying disease condition such as infection, parasites, cancer or a reaction to a drug or vaccine causes a change in the red blood cells, which in turn stimulates the immune system to attack the cells. Autoagglutination is often associated with clotting disorders including pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), which are blood clots in the lungs. Intravascular hemolysis tends to be more severe and carries a worse prognosis than extravascular hemolysis.

Extractions: IMMUNE-MEDIATED HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA July 2001 Four recent retrospective studies have addressed the clinical and laboratory findings and compared treatment outcomes of dogs with IMHA. In one study of 70 cases, Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels, Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, and Collies were at increased risk. Only 3 dogs had been vaccinated within 2 weeks of the diagnosis. Regenerative anemia was present in 83% and 79% had spherocytosis. Only 37% of the dogs had positive Coombs test. Thrombocytopenia was also found in 29 dogs. Elevated serum bilirubin concentrations, present in 68% of cases, was significantly associated with decreased survival. A significant difference in survival was found between treatment groups (see Table). The overall mortality was 70%. While 29 dogs died or were euthanized during hospitalization, 41 were discharged but 15 died, most within 3 months of discharge. Dogs with IMHA were four times more likely to die than dogs in the general hospital population. The third study included 88 dogs. Twenty-six dogs received only prednisone. Of these, 15 (58%) survived to be discharged, and the mortality rate was 30%. The relative risk of death for dogs treated
