Description
Drug-induced hemolytic anemia (DIHA) should be considered whenever any hemolytic anemia is suspected. A vast number of common drugs can cause a positive direct antiglobuin test (DAT) and in some patients this will be associated with significant hemolysis. This session will review correlation of patient history and laboratory data that is essential for the diagnosis of DIHA.
- Assess the serologic findings associated with drug-induced hemolytic anemia.
- Describe the different mechanisms of drug-induced hemolysis.
- Identify drugs commonly associated with immune hemolysis.
- List laboratory tests useful for making the diagnosis of drug-induced hemolytic anemia.
