Aspects of laboratory characteristics, analysis of alloimmunization, and searching for predictors related to survival in patients with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by hemolysis caused by autoantibodies. However, many patients do not respond to therapies and may have an unfavorable outcome. It has been hypothesized that patients with AIHA and alloantibodies have a lower survival compared to patients with this disease and without alloimmunization.
