Abstract
Warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (wAIHA) is a rare autoantibody-mediated disorder that may occur in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The clinical course of wAIHA is highly variable, ranging from anaemia compensated adequately by reticulocytosis to severe, life-threatening cases. While insights into the pathogenesis of wAIHA in SLE remain limited, emerging evidence highlights the risk factors and impact of wAIHA in the context of SLE. Management of wAIHA associated with SLE remains challenging as there is limited clinical evidence to support treatment decisions. New therapies, some that target underlying disease mechanisms relevant to both conditions, are in development. In this review, we examine the impact of wAIHA on clinical outcomes for patients with SLE, summarise the current management strategies along with unmet needs, and provide an update on novel therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity Reviews is a publication that features up-to-date, structured reviews on various topics in the field of autoimmunity. These reviews are written by renowned experts and include demonstrative illustrations and tables. Each article will have a clear "take-home" message for readers.
The selection of articles is primarily done by the Editors-in-Chief, based on recommendations from the international Editorial Board. The topics covered in the articles span all areas of autoimmunology, aiming to bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences.
In terms of content, the contributions in basic sciences delve into the pathophysiology and mechanisms of autoimmune disorders, as well as genomics and proteomics. On the other hand, clinical contributions focus on diseases related to autoimmunity, novel therapies, and clinical associations.
Autoimmunity Reviews is internationally recognized, and its articles are indexed and abstracted in prestigious databases such as PubMed/Medline, Science Citation Index Expanded, Biosciences Information Services, and Chemical Abstracts.
