Patient's question:
Hello, what is called hemolytic anemia? How serious is this disease? What are the hazards of hemolytic anemia?Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic anemia is typically intravascular hemolysis. This type of hemolysis occurs again within the blood vessels. Hemoglobin is a byproduct of red blood cell destruction and fuses with haptoglobin in the plasma, thereby consuming haptoglobin and reducing its levels. The symptoms of most patients with hemolytic anemia are acute recurrences, including chills, low fever, pallor, and jaundice. Additionally, there may be nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, and abdominal pain. As well as back pain, back pain, oliguria, anuria, and soy sauce urine (hemoglobinuria), and even kidney failure.
