Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemias
Hemolytic anemias, which are rare, are often caused by autoimmune destruction of red cells. The hemolysis can be intravascular or extravascular. In general, IgG mediates warm antibody–induced hemolysis, and IgM cold antibody–induced hemolysis. Immunosuppression is the main treatment.
