Hemolytic Anemia
Hemolytic
anemia may be a disorder during which red blood
cells are destroyed faster than they will be made. The destruction of red blood
cells is named hemolysis. Your bone marrow is liable for making these red blood cells. When destruction of red blood
cells outpaces your bone marrow’s production of those cells, haemolytic
anaemia occurs. Definitive therapy depends on the cause: Symptomatic treatment are often given by transfusion, if there's marked anemia. A positive Coombs test is a relative contraindication to transfuse the patient. In cold haemolytic
anaemia there's advantage in transfusing warmed blood. In severe immune-related haemolytic anaemia,
steroid therapy is usually necessary. Causes of
hemolytic anemia are a doctor may not be able to pinpoint the source of hemolytic anemia. Underlying causes of extrinsic haemolytic
anaemia include: enlarged spleen,
hepatitis A, Epstein-Barr virus, typhoid.
