What tests should be given to a patient who has autoimmune anemia before having transfusion?
How can the blood transfusion be compatible for a patient with warm hemolytic anemia?

Yes, there’s something about AIHA that is not discussed enough or even discussed at all here:

How can naturopathic medicine play a useful role in addressing AIHA?

I’m talking about diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients with chronic AIHA to focus on the root cause of the disease, rather than just the symptoms as with allopathic medicine which relies on drugs, surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.

I’m fully aware that not all AIHA patients are able to effectively manage their AIHA without some kind of allopathic approach.
But to be honest, most allopathic doctors, including haematologists, know very little about nutrition and other aspects of lifestyle that would come into play in addressing AIHA.
