At the Autoimmune Registry, we collect statistics on all autoimmune diseases. One thing that is clear from our data is that most patients have more than one autoimmune disease. For warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), we see the below conditions as the most common comorbid autoimmune diseases.

At the top, 23% of our registrants with wAIHA also reported having autoimmune thyroiditis, followed by 18% also reporting systemic lupus and ITP. We have also released a new survey for our registrants with wAIHA in order to gather data related to diagnosis and treatment. To take the survey, please log into your account. If you previously indicated that you have wAIHA in our enrollment survey, then the wAIHA survey should automatically appear on your survey dashboard. You can also update your enrollment survey at any time, in case you receive a new diagnosis.
Once we collect enough data from our over 70 registrants, we will report and share our findings. If you are interested in participating in clinical trials, you can also learn more here.
