Activity Description:
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is the most common type (60-70%) of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). In most cases, wAIHA is due to an immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibody that binds to red blood cells (RBC), leading to hemolysis. Current recommendations for managing people with wAIHA are largely based on case series and retrospective studies involving off-label medications. Also, while there are currently no medications specifically approved to treat wAIHA, data are emerging on new therapies under investigation which may impact treatment in the future. This 15-minute CME program, hosted by Irina Murakhovskaya, MD, of the Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York, NY and Bruno Fattizzo, MD, of the University of Milan and Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, in Milan, Italy, describes common complications that can impact the management of patients with wAIHA.
