If your AIHA is mild, you may not need any treatment at all. Doctors usually first prescribe steroids, such as hydrocortisone or prednisone, to stop your immune system from attacking your red blood cells.[webmd.com]
Combined treatment with steroids and cyclosporin was necessary to improve haemolysis and reduce the high transfusion requirements. Treatment was discontinued at 13 months of age.[fn.bmj.com]
If no response to corticosteroids is observed by the end of the first 3 weeks, continued therapy as sole treatment is usually ineffective.[clinicalgate.com]
