The most common type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (WAHA). WAHA is an acquired, chronic, autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells due to the formation of autoantibodies against red cell antigens. It is caused by an abnormal immune response that targets the body's own red blood cells. Symptoms of WAHA may include jaundice, fatigue, anemia, and shortness of breath. Treatment of WAHA includes immunosuppressive medications, transfusions, and plasmapheresis.
