Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Primary immunological deficiency or primary immunodeficiency disorder being you are genetically having a weak immune system. At present, it seems you have more of an autoimmune disorder.2. Do this autoimmune disorder, antigen antibody reaction and complement activation and hemolysis is occurring.3. Cause of hemolysis needs to assessed and particular antibody needs to be removed through apheresis. 4. steroids or other immune suppressants are necessary to reduce further antibody production. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
