Overview
Diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is based on laboratory results. The best way to make a diagnosis is to start with a less costly CBC followed by confirmatory coombs test to define type of autoimmune hemolysis.
Diagnotic study of choice for autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is based on laboratory results. [1]
- The best way to make a diagnosis is to start with a less costly CBC followed by confirmatory coombs test to define type of autoimmune hemolysis.
- By definition, autoimmune hemolytic anemia is characterized by anemia.[2]
- Seeing schistocytes in peripheral blood smear is a sensitive but non-specific test for diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
- Coombs test can narrow down our diagnosis in autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
