Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is "hemolysis." There are two types of hemolytic anemia: intrinsic hemolytic anemia - the destruction of the red blood cells due to a defect within the red blood cells themselves. Intrinsic hemolytic anemias are often inherited, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. These conditions produce red blood cells that do not live as long as normal red blood cells. extrinsic hemolytic anemia - red blood cells are produced healthy but are later destroyed by getting trapped in the spleen, destroyed by infection, or destroyed from drugs that can affect red blood cells. The following lists some of the causes of extrinsic hemolytic anemia, also called autoimmune hemolytic anemia: infections: hepatitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), typhoid fever, E. coli, or streptococcus

Red blood cells are produced by stem cells in bone marrow. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in the blood stream throughout the body. Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells have an abnormally short life span. They're destroyed faster than bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is "hemolysis." Symptoms of hemolytic anemia may vary with each child. The following are some of the most common symptoms: Abnormally pale skin as well as jaundice or yellowing of skin and eyes Confusion Dark colored urine Dizziness, weakness or intolerance to physical activity

There are a number of specific types of hemolytic anemia which are described individually. Alternative Names: Anemia - hemolytic Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Hemolytic anemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to compensate for premature destruction of red blood cells by increasing their production. When the marrow is able to compensate, anemia does not occur. There are many types of hemolytic anemia, which are classified by the location of the defect. The defect may be in the red blood cell itself ( intrinsic factor ), or outside the red blood cell (extrinsic factor). Causes of hemolytic anemia include infection, certain medications

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Hemolytic anemia Definition Description As a group, anemias (conditions in which the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in them is below normal) are the most common blood disorders. Hemolytic anemias, which result from the increased destruction of red blood cells, are less common than anemias caused by excessive blood loss or by decreased hemoglobin or red cell production. Inherited hemolytic anemias involve conditions that interfere with normal red blood cell production. Disorders that affect the red blood cell membrane include hereditary spherocytosis, in which the normally disk-shaped red cells become spherical, and hereditary elliptocytosis, in which the cells are oval, rather than disk-shaped. Other hereditary conditions that cause hemolytic anemia include disorders of the hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia , and red blood cell enzyme deficiencies, such as G6PD deficiency. hypersplenism , in which a large, overactive spleen rapidly destroys red blood cells. Major symptoms of hemolytic anemias are similar to those for all anemias, including

How to Use the Information Search Ask an Expert ... Prevention Idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia Definition: This disorder results from an abnormality of the immune system that destroys red blood cells prematurely. The cause is unknown. Alternative Names: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia; Anemia - idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an acquired disease that occurs when antibodies form against the person's own red blood cells. In the idiopathic form of this disease, the cause is unknown. There are other types of immune hemolytic anemias where the cause may result from an underlying disease or medication. Idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia accounts for one-half of all immune hemolytic anemias. The onset of the disease may be quite rapid and very serious. Risk factors are not known.

59. Drug Induced Hemolytic Anemia The patient recovered. COMMENT. Dr. Hirose was alert in recognizing the characteristic laboratory pattern of a drug induced hemolytic anemia. http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/pathologists_making_a_difference/hemolytic_anemi

Background Thomas Hirose, M.D. is a board certified pathologist with subspecialty expertise and board certification in Transfusion Medicine. As director of the Blood Bank in several hospitals, it is his job to oversee all transfusion reactions which may occur from the utilization of blood products. In addition, any patient with a bleeding problem usually comes to his attention because of the therapeutic decisions which need to be made regarding the transfusion of blood products. This is how he made a difference for the patient. Recently I received a call from an Internist regarding a 55 year male patient who was severely anemic (hematocrit 18%) and was found to have a positive DAT. The patient was thought to have a small retroperitoneal hemorrhage . The attending physician was reluctant to transfuse any blood and questioned whether he should premedicate this patient with steroids, aspirin and benadryl because there was a positive direct Coombs assay. The patients serologic evaluation revealed a 2+ reaction with anti-IgG Coombs reagent and 4+ anti-C3d. The indirect Coombs assay was negative. This pattern suggested that the patient may have been exposed to a medication (Cefotetan, Volaren, Unisyn etc.) which could induce a positive direct Coombs and could also be associated with red cell hemolysis.
