Why attend
Bringing CAD into focus
Cold Agglutinin Disease is a rare, complement mediated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia that is often under recognised. This session brings together international and regional experts to sharpen clinical suspicion, refine diagnosis and discuss where management is heading, with real world cases from across the region.
Burden and risk
The thromboembolic and mortality risks that make CAD more than an anaemia.
Confident diagnosis
From clinical suspicion to laboratory confirmation of cold agglutinins.
Evolving management
Advances in complement directed therapy and regional real world experience.
