Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a complex and intriguing condition that affects the red blood cells. In this informative YouTube video, we delve into the world of AIHA, exploring its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Join us as we unravel the mysteries of AIHA and shed light on the underlying immune dysregulation that leads to the destruction of red blood cells. Discover the different types of AIHA, including warm antibody AIHA and cold antibody AIHA, each with distinct characteristics and triggers.
Learn about the signs and symptoms of AIHA, such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, jaundice, and shortness of breath, and understand how these relate to the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. We explore the diagnostic process for AIHA, which involves blood tests, antibody screenings, and evaluation of the immune system.
Explore the various treatment approaches for AIHA, including corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications, blood transfusions, and, in severe cases, splenectomy. We discuss the importance of close monitoring and management of AIHA to prevent complications and improve quality of life for individuals living with this condition.
Additionally, we touch upon the underlying mechanisms of AIHA, including the production of autoantibodies and the breakdown of red blood cells. We delve into the potential triggers and associations, such as autoimmune disorders, infections, medications, and certain cancers.
