Abstract:
Objective To investigate the change of regulatory T-cells (Treg) before and after therapy in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA),and to study the role of Treg in AIHA.Methods Treg cells numbers was measured by flow cytometry.Results Before treatment,Treg cells in AIHA patients was (1.32 ± 0.87) %,which was significantly lower than (3.08 ± 0.96) % in the controls (t =-5.37,P < 0.01).After treatment,Treg cells in AIHA patients was significantly increased [(4.96 ± 1.13)%] (t =-16.94,P <0.01).Conclusion Treg cells decreased in AIHA patients.Glucocorticoid might play a role in AIHA treatment by up-regulating Treg cells number.
