A member asked:

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is what sort of symptoms or problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tiredness: In autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) red cells get broken open due to destruction by antibodies which attach to the red cell. This leads to anemia and fatigue, tiredness, and sometimes yellow eyes (scleral icterus) and yellow skin (jaundice).
