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
- Direct antiglobulin ("Coombs") test-negative
- Direct antiglobulin ("Coombs") test-positive
- Complement-induced lysis
- Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Includes Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
- Others
Hemolytic anemia associated with abnormal red cells
- Hemoglobinopathies. Includes Sickle cell anemia.
- Metabolic deficiency
- Erythrocyte membrane abnormality. Includes Hereditary spherocytosis.
- Others
Diagnosis
- Coombs' test
- Haptoglobin's role in diagnosis has been reviewed.[3] Its accuracy is:[4]
- Sensitivity 83%
- Specificity 96%
- Lactate dehydrogenase
