Abstract

In summary, autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease characterized by the destruction of red blood cells caused by the body's own antibodies, the so-called "autoantibodies". There are three different types of hemolytic anemia: hot, cold and mixed.Warm hemolytic anemia: autoantibodies can react more strongly to body temperature of 37°C.Cold hemolytic anemia: destruction of red blood cells occurs at temperatures between 4ºC and 18ºC.Mixed hemolytic anemia: both types of autoantibodies (hot and cold) coexist.Hemolytic anemias are defined as a group of anemias whose main characteristic is the decrease in erythrocyte survival. Although the time in the circulation to death for old or senescent red blood cells in adults is 110 to 120 days, and for hemolytic anemia is defined as an erythrocyte survival of less than 100 days.
