West Virginia Medical Journal, 2017 Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) is a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) characterized by the unique property of IgM autoantibodies binding to red blood cells (RBCs) at low temperatures. Agglutination of RBCs and activation of complement are precursors to expression of clinical features manifested as ischemic changes and hemolysis.
