How to treat autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Patient's question:

Cold hands and feet, sometimes I also feel some leg pain. After lying in bed, I don't want to move and have no strength at all. I feel weak all over and even sweat coldly. My face is also a bit pale. How can this be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Pale complexion, yellowing of the body (skin, mucous membranes, conjunctiva of eyelids), and yellow urine. Hormones are the first-line treatment for hemolytic anemia, but long-term use of hormones can cause side effects, so they should be reduced. However, the reduction of hormones should be gradually reduced to 8 tablets, half a tablet at a time, and four tablets at a time. When long-term maintenance cannot be stopped, it should be reduced to one tablet. Autoimmune hemolysis is a chronic autoimmune disease that requires long-term treatment. Some patients may relapse after stopping medication. However, there are still many options.
