    GlossaryAutoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

    condition where the immune system destroys its own red blood cells

    Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) is a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own red blood cells, leading to a shortage of these cells (anemia). This can cause symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and jaundice. AIHA can be triggered by infections, certain medications, or other autoimmune disorders, and it often requires treatments that suppress the immune system.
