Abstract

A haematological condition known as Immune-Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia (IMHA) affects dogs and is caused by antibodies directly destroying red blood cells in the bloodstream. It can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary (caused by neoplastic or infectious illnesses). An attack on circulating red blood cells by the immune system is the hallmark of IMHA, a potentially fatal autoimmune disease. Though the disease occurs naturally in both humans and dogs, it is significantly more prevalent in dogs. The aim of this review was to methodically assess the available data on the disease's clinico-pathology, its therapy and utilize the results to derive recommendations that may be implemented in broader veterinary medicine.
