HP and anemia (phenotype): AIHA is suspected in case of anaemia (haemoglobin <11 g/dL for female and <12 g/dL for male) associated with reticulocytosis and with markers of haemolysis, i.e., elevated lactate dehydrogenase, low haptoglobin and elevated indirect bilirubin, with a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) for IgG with or without complement (C3d) as cold agglutinins are excluded from ES [7].
