Hemolytic Anemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hemolytic anemia is a type of anemia in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body manages to replace them, so their number in the blood decreases.
Common symptoms: tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath on exertion and, at times, a yellowish tone in the skin or eyes and darker urine.
Possible causes: it may be due to inherited factors, to reactions of the immune system, or to other conditions that affect the red blood cells.
Which specialist evaluates it? The hematologist, dedicated to blood diseases, is the one who usually evaluates it, often with support from the laboratory. If marked fatigue or unexplained paleness appears, seeking a medical evaluation is advisable.
