Description
Immune hemolytic anemias (IHA) may be categorized as alloimmune, autoimmune and drug-induced. This session will review key concepts for the diagnosis, classification and serology of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia. Case studies will supplement the theoretical review to illustrate typical serology. Equipped with academic knowledge and serologic characteristics of these sometimes difficult-to-recognize IHAs, attendees will be able to compare and contrast autoimmune hemolytic anemia and drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia in order to expedite recognition and subsequent resolution for their patients.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Describe the diagnosis, treatment and transfusion support in the major types of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
  • Discover techniques for the selection of blood products for patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
  • Discuss the diagnosis and classification of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia.
  • Explain and compare the key serologic features of the most common types of autoimmune and drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia.
