In hematology, Hemolytic anemia is an "A condition of inadequate circulating red blood cells (anemia) or insufficient hemoglobin due to premature destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes)."[1]
Classification
One classification is based on whether hemolysis occurs intravascularly or extravascularly. Another classification is whether the erythrocytes are intrinsically normal:[2]
Hemolytic anemia associated with normal red cells
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Complement-induced lysis
- Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
Hemolytic anemia associated with abnormal red cells
- Hemoglobinopathies
- Metabolic deficiency
- Erythrocyte membrane abnormality
Diagnosis
