Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia treatment in Mexico City

In autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the body's own defense system produces antibodies that attack and destroy the red blood cells prematurely. As they are eliminated faster than they are replaced, their number in the blood decreases.

What hemolytic means: the term refers to the destruction of the red blood cells, which in this case is caused by the immune system.

How it may manifest:

• Tiredness and weakness
• Paleness or, at times, yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes
• Darker urine than usual
• Shortness of breath

Who treats it? The hematologist is the specialist who studies this type of anemia and the activity of the immune system on the blood. In the face of paleness, marked tiredness, or yellowish coloring of the skin, it is advisable to seek a checkup to clarify the cause.
