What's the name of the disease were a person's red and white blood cells attack each other?

Question

I've searched on the internet i cant seem to find the name

It's also fatal

Answer 1

Fauvism.... I believe it is called that... Spelling might differ, but that is how you say it...
The white blood cells attack and eat the red ones, or the other way around. But It is triggered by an allergic readion to something, such as food or medication. So you are ok if you stay away from those things that cause the reaction of your blood cells. The disease stays in your body untill you are in your early 20's and then you are ok.
I know, because I had it.

Answer 2

There is no condition where RBCs can attack WBCs. RBCs carry oxygen to the tissues. RBCs transfused to another individual can stimulate an immune response and cause the recipient to make alloantibodies - this can be in the form of a Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction and rarely fatal. If the RBCs are not *** compatible then this can cause a Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction which can be fatal.
Another RBC related "attack" is the result of fetal RBCs transferred to mother during pregnancy and then mother can make antibodies that can attack the fetus. There are many different antibodies that the mother can make (including antibodies against platelets) but the one that most people are aware of is Anti-D. This antibody can be fatal to the fetus. It is preventable with the use of RhIg (Rhogam).
But I think you are asking about either Graft vs Host disease which is often fatal or Warm AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia (WAIHA) which may be fatal.
Graft vs Host disease can be the result of an incompatible organ transplant, bone marrow transplant, or rarely blood transfusion from a close family member. or transfusion of blood to immunocompromised patients. The WBCs in the graft (transplant or blood product) multiplies in the host and then attacks the host. This illness is almost always fatal (greater than 95%). In the case of transfused blood from family members or immunocompromised individuals it can be prevented by Irradiating the blood product which destroys the nucleus of Lymphocytes hendering them from colonizing in the host.
In Warm AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia, the reason for the antibody is unknown, but the person's own immune system (WBCs) produce an antibody that attacks and destroys the persons own RBCs. This antibody coats the RBCs and then the RE system - mainly spleen - removes these cells from the circulation causing the person to be anemic. Treatment is usually immune suppressive drugs to reduce the antibody production and transfusion for the anemia. Sometimes this disease is part of a Leukemia syndrome and when this happens it is more likely to be fatal.
Leukemia is not necessarily an attack between red and white blood cells, but is a cancer of the White Blood Cells. White blood cells are made in the bone marrow and when they are overproduced because of the cancer cells, then there is no room for RBC production and the person can become anemic.

Answer 3

Red Blood cells cannot attack any other cells. However in MDS and or Leukemia, White Blood cells (immune system) can attack Red Blood cells. Although in these diseases, one has few active mature white cells to begin with.

Answer 4

The "autoimmune response".It is condition when White blood cells do not recognize its Red blood cells in blood stream and act against them as they are foreign object(like when they fight germs or viruses in blood stream).

Answer 5

rhesus isoimmunisation, this is why women who are rhesus negative blood types who give birth to rhesus positive babies get the anti D injection. So that their blood does not attack itself.

Answer 6

Its not leukemia for sure.
The first one is probably right.

Answer 7

Yeah should be leukemia

Answer 8

luekemia, and its acancer of the blood.
