==Overview==
The risk factors for autoimmune hemolytic anemia include [[systemic lupus erythematosus]] and immunotherapeutic medications. [[Systemic lupus erythematosus]] is thought to be a strong risk factor for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. However, immunotherapeutic medications may become a more prevalent risk factor in the coming years as these agents are becoming used increasingly for a variety of cancers. These medications include anti-PD-1 antibodies and anti-[[CTLA-4|CTLA-4 antibodies]].

==Risk Factors==
In the majority of cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the etiology is not found, and patients have no predisposing risk factors. However, there are certain conditions that can predispose a person to develop autoimmune hemolytic anemia. These conditions have an immunologic or autoimmune basis, with aberrant immune activation that results in generation of autoantibodies against oneself. The best autoimmune-related known risk factor is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).<ref name="pmid25949934">{{cite journal| author=Fujii J, Kurahashi T, Konno T, Homma T, Iuchi Y| title=Oxidative stress as a potential causal factor for autoimmune hemolytic anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus. | journal=World J Nephrol | year= 2015 | volume= 4 | issue= 2 | pages= 213-22 | pmid=25949934 | doi=10.5527/wjn.v4.i2.213 | pmc=4419130 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25949934  }} </ref> SLE is a multisystem rheumatologic disease that is characterized by production of anti-double stranded DNA and anti-nuclear antibodies, with resultant autoimmune-mediated damage to a variety of organs including the kidneys, brain, skin, and peripheral blood.<ref name="pmid25949934">{{cite journal| author=Fujii J, Kurahashi T, Konno T, Homma T, Iuchi Y| title=Oxidative stress as a potential causal factor for autoimmune hemolytic anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus. | journal=World J Nephrol | year= 2015 | volume= 4 | issue= 2 | pages= 213-22 | pmid=25949934 | doi=10.5527/wjn.v4.i2.213 | pmc=4419130 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25949934  }} </ref>

Overview

The risk factors for autoimmune hemolytic anemia include systemic lupus erythematosus and immunotherapeutic medications. Systemic lupus erythematosus is thought to be a strong risk factor for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. However, immunotherapeutic medications may become a more prevalent risk factor in the coming years as these agents are becoming used increasingly for a variety of cancers. These medications include anti-PD-1 antibodies and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.

Risk Factors

In the majority of cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the etiology is not found, and patients have no predisposing risk factors. However, there are certain conditions that can predispose a person to develop autoimmune hemolytic anemia. These conditions have an immunologic or autoimmune basis, with aberrant immune activation that results in the generation of autoantibodies against oneself.
