Warm AIHA: The Patient Perspective
<p>In this episode of Heme Talks, we are joined by Mr. Sean Powell as he shares his experiences as a former patient and now patient advocate for a rare blood disorder known as warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA). Sean shares his story of how he was diagnosed, the initial management, drug toxicities, and subsequent investigations that he underwent. Our patient advocate episodes highlight the importance of advocacy, community, and shared understanding between patients and their healthcare providers. </p><p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p><p>1. wAIHA can sometimes be associated with an underlying condition. Mr. Powell’s journey illustrates how wAIHA occasionally occurs alongside other diagnoses, highlighting the value of ongoing clinical vigilance and open communication between patients and their care team. </p><p><br></p><p>2. Steroid therapy carries significant side effects that patients are often unprepared for. Mr. Powell experienced severe prednisone toxicities, including rage, insomnia, and extreme hunger, and his hemolysis was only transiently controlled. His experience highlights the need for proactive patient counseling about steroid side effects and the importance of escalating to second-line therapies like rituximab when steroids fail. </p><p><br></p><p> 3. The emotional and psychological burden of transitioning from active treatment to remission is often underestimated. Even after achieving remission, Mr. Powell faced intense anxiety, isolation, and loneliness — feelings that emerged precisely when formal support structures faded. Routine referrals to behavioral health specialists and survivorship programs should be considered a standard part of care, not an afterthought. </p><p><br>This podcast episode is supported by Johnson & Johnson.</p>

Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia: Challenges, Choices, and New Therapies
<p>In this episode of Heme Talks, we are joined by Allyson Pishko, MD, MSCE, Classical Hematologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss a rare blood disorder known as warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA). In this episode, Dr. Pishko shares her approach to diagnosis and management of this disorder, and how she approaches discussions about this diagnosis with her patients. Dr. Pishko also discusses promising future options for patients with wAIHA. </p><p><strong>Clinical Perls:</strong></p><ol><li>Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a complex diagnosis. In addition to a careful history, key lab data to support the diagnosis can include an acute drop in hemoglobin, elevated bilirubin, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reduced haptoglobin, an elevated reticulocyte count, and a positive Coombs’ test. Microspherocytes may also be visible on a smear. However, not all patients will present with all of these findings, and it is also important to consider the patient’s comorbid conditions when interpreting labs. </li><li>Corticosteroids remain the backbone of treatment with a slow taper over many weeks pending clinical improvement. Additional therapies include rituximab and immunosuppressive agents. </li><li>For refractory patients, additional options to consider agents including fostaminib and rilzabrutinib. Nipocalimab is currently also being reviewed by the FDA. </li></ol><p>This podcast episode is supported by Johnson & Johnson.</p>

Unfolding Amyloid: A Patient Perspective
<p>In this episode of Heme Talks, we are joined by Dr. Sai Jambunathan as she shares her experiences with the diagnosis and management of a rare blood disorder known as AL amyloidosis. As a patient herself, listeners will gain insights into the complex initial workup and what the treatment journey is like for patients with this condition. Our patient advocate episodes highlight the importance of advocacy, community, and shared understanding between patients and their healthcare providers. </p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ol><li><strong>AL amyloidosis can present without classic symptoms, making early recognition challenging.</strong> Dr. Jambunathan's initial symptoms — fatigue, shortness of breath, and night sweats — were subtle and initially attributed to other causes. Clinicians should maintain a broad index of suspicion, as timely diagnosis significantly impacts prognosis. </li><li><strong>Clear, compassionate communication from the care team makes a meaningful difference for patients and families.</strong> From explaining the diagnosis in accessible language to giving family members direct reassurance, Dr. Jambunathan's experience shows how much patients value providers who take the time to communicate honestly, patiently, and with empathy. </li><li><strong>Community, advocacy, and peer support are powerful tools for patients navigating a rare disease.</strong> Dr. Jambunathan found strength through patient support groups, faith communities, and caregivers — and channeled her experience into advocacy, helping pass an AL amyloidosis awareness month in New Jersey. Organizations like the Amyloidosis Research Consortium offer valuable resources for patients and families seeking connection and information. </li></ol><p>This podcast is supported by Alexion.</p>
