The term for excessive destruction of red blood cells is hemolysis. There are two types of hemolytic anemia: intrinsic - the destruction of the red blood cells due to a defect within the red blood cells themselves. Intrinsic hemolytic anemias are often inherited, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. These conditions produce red blood cells that do not live as long as normal red blood cells. extrinsic - red blood cells are produced healthy but are later destroyed by getting trapped in the spleen, destroyed by infection, or destroyed from drugs that can affect red blood cells. Often, antibodies are produced that attack the red blood cells. This is called autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Some of the disorders that cause autoimmune hemolytic anemia include:

Extractions: The student shall develop the following: Knowledge and understanding of the methods which are available to diagnose autoimmune hemolytic anemias in the transfusion lab and the importance of achieving a correct diagnosis. Ability to use serological test results to distinguish between the major types of autoimmune hemolytic anemias. Ability to select the most appropriate donor blood for transfusion to patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The student shall be able to do the following: Describe theories of autoimmunity (malfunction of T-cell subsets; forbidden clone theory; alteration of self antigen; cross-reactivity with viral antigens; secondary to other diseases; inherited tendency toward autoimmunity); and provide an example to support each theory. Define primary idiopathic autoimmunity, autoimmunity secondary to disease, and drug-related autoimmunity and state the relative frequency of the first two types. Discuss cold antibody type AIHA as follows: Characteristics of antibodies (immunoglobulin class, thermal range, ability to bind complement, specificities)

Extractions: Potential Applications Therapy for autoimmune hemolytic anemia The therapy is applicable to both humans and companion animals Advantages of Invention The method is less invasive than surgery (splenectomy) Decrease use of steroids Decrease side effects State of Development - The efficacy of this therapy has been demonstrated by some strong in vivo data obtained in mice. - Using a mouse model in which animals were given anti red blood cell antibodies, treatment with liposomal clodronate substantially decreased red blood cell destruction. - In addition, this effect was detected within hours and lasted at least a week. Additional in vivo studies with other animal models. Licensing Potential - Available for licensing. Patent Status - U.S. Patent Pending.

Drug-induced Immune Hemolytic Anemia Druginduced immune hemolytic anemia. Definition Alternative Names Immune hemolyticanemia secondary to drugs; Anemia - immune hemolytic - secondary to drugs. http://www.pennhealth.com/ency/article/000578.htm
Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia occurs when certain drugs interact with the red blood cell membrane, causing the cell to become antigenic (the body identifies the cell as tissue not belonging to the body). Antibodies form against the red blood cells. The antibodies combine with the affected red blood cells and result in their premature destruction. The incidence is rare in children. Drugs that can cause secondary immune hemolytic anemia are penicillins, cephalosporins, levodopa, methyldopa, mefenamic acid, quinidine, salicylic acid, sulfonamides, Thiazide diuretics, antazoline, chlorpromazine, isoniazid, streptomycin, and Motrin. Drug-induced hemolytic anemia is most often associated with G6PD deficiency

Immune Hemolytic Anemia Immune hemolytic anemia. Immune hemolytic anemia is a disorder characterized byanemia due to premature destruction of red blood cells by the immune system. http://www.iowaclinic.com/adam/ency/article/000576.shtml
Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Immune hemolytic anemia occurs when antibodies form against the body's own red blood cells. The antibodies may be acquired by blood transfusion, pregnancy (if the baby's blood type is different from the mother's), as a complication of another disease, or from a reaction to medications. If the cause of antibody formation is disease or medication, it is referred to as secondary immune hemolytic anemia. The antibodies will destroy the blood cells because they are recognized as foreign substances within the body. The cause may also be unknown, as in idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia , which accounts for one-half of all immune hemolytic anemias . The onset of the disease may be quite rapid and very serious, or it may remain mild and not require specific therapy. Risk factors are related to the causes.
