AIHA?

Diagnosed with warm antibody AIHA 28 yrs old currently on prednisone 80 mg 3 infusions of Rituxan hemoglobin still very low. Could this have been caused by cocaine abuse?

Possibly. I would have to research it further, but cocaine use causes a range of long-term effects that are different from other drugs of abuse. That dose of prednisone is very high, and will cause you more problems later on. In the very least, take calcium and vit D supplements 3x day. Your bones and teeth are at risk in your situation.
