PA SR230

Designates March 25, 2026, as "Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Awareness Day" in Pennsylvania

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare condition affecting approximately 1 to 3 people per 100,000, where the immune system attacks and destroys red blood cells faster than bone marrow can produce them

AIHA has no cure and can lead to potentially life-threatening complications including serious infections such as pneumonia and heart disease

The condition is categorized as either Primary (not caused by another condition) or Secondary (triggered by conditions like Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, hepatitis, or HIV)

Medical professionals often fail to recognize the disease, potentially creating delays in patient care
