About this listen

Werfen presents Diagnosis is Visibility under the theme #GiveToGain. Alexa’s story highlights how specialization makes the invisible seen. Navigating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), she faced a life-threatening crisis when autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) triggered severe haemolysis. Specialized diagnostics provided the path forward: extended immunohematology guided her transfusions, while high-resolution HLA typing enabled a successful kidney transplant. During surgery, near-patient testing allowed for targeted therapy, which made her stabilization possible.
Specialization and multidisciplinary collaboration ultimately saved her life.

While Alexa is a fictional character, her story is real and more frequent than you think.
