Overview
Causes
Possible Causes
The cause of the signs and symptoms of Evan’s Syndrome are directly related to the low levels of red blood cells (RBC) and platelets in the blood. These low levels are a result of circulating antibodies that bind to the blood cells and destroy them. Antibodies are made under normal conditions against foreign substances in the body and are therefore very useful in warding off infection. In conditions that are referred to as “autoimmune” the body makes antibodies against itself. In the case of Evan’s Syndrome, it is not currently known what triggers this reaction to happen.
