Abstract
Autoimmune-responses leading to increased destruction of red blood cells occur in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). The pathophysiology of AIHA is multifactorial and not fully understood, and clinically it remains challenging to manage relapsed and treatment-refractory cases. Rabelo and colleagues conduct metabolomic profiling in plasma of 26 patients with primary warm AIHA, with consideration of haemolytic activity and relapse occurrence. They identify distinct metabolites to be increased in primary warm AIHA patients, thereby providing an encouraging basis for further validation and exploration of metabolomic profiling as a predictive tool for the management of AIHA. Commentary on: Rabelo et al. Metabolomic profile in patients with primary warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Br J Haematol 2023;200:140-149.
