Prevention Alternative names: Anemia - hemolytic Definition: Hemolytic anemia is a condition of an inadequate number of circulating red blood cells ( anemia ), caused by premature destruction of red blood cells. There are a number of specific types of hemolytic anemia which are described individually. Causes and Risks 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.

Extractions: Important notice Ency. home Disease I Immune hemolytic anemia Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Alternative names: Anemia - immune hemolytic Definition: Immune hemolytic anemia is a disorder characterized by anemia due to premature destruction of red blood cells by the immune system. Causes and Risks Immune hemolytic anemia occurs when antibodies form against the body's own red blood cells. The antibodies may be acquired by blood transfusion, pregnancy (if the baby's blood type is different from the mother's), as a complication of another disease, or from a reaction to medications. If the cause of antibody formation is disease or medication, it is referred to as secondary immune hemolytic anemia. The antibodies will destroy the blood cells because they are recognized as foreign substances within the body. The cause may also be unknown, as in idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia , which accounts for one-half of all immune hemolytic anemias . The onset of the disease may be quite rapid and very serious, or it may remain mild and not require specific therapy. Risk factors are related to the causes. Ency. home

Extractions: Resources Red blood cells have a normal life span of approximately 90-120 days, at which time the old cells are destroyed and replaced by the body's natural processes. Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which the red blood cells are destroyed prematurely. The cells are broken down at a faster rate than the bone marrow can produce new cells. Hemoglobin, the component of red blood cells that carries oxygen, is released when these cells are destroyed. 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. Since a number of factors can increase red blood cell destruction, hemolytic anemias are generally identified by the disorder that brings about the premature destruction. Those disorders are classified as either inherited or acquired. Inherited hemolytic anemias are caused by inborn defects in components of the red blood cells-the cell membrane, the enzymes, or the hemoglobin. Acquired hemolytic anemias are those that result from various other causes. With this type, red cells are produced normally, but are prematurely destroyed because of damage that occurs to them in the circulation. Causes and symptoms

Other hereditary conditions that cause hemolytic anemia include disorders of the hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and

Extractions: La anemia hemolítica es un trastorno en el cual los glóbulos rojos de la sangre se destruyen más rápido de lo que la médula ósea puede producirlos. El término para la destrucción de los glóbulos rojos es "hemólisis". Existen dos tipos de anemia hemolítica: Intrínseca - la destrucción de los glóbulos rojos debido a un defecto en los mismos glóbulos rojos. Las anemias hemolíticas intrínsecas son a menudo hereditarias, como la anemia drepanocítica y la talasemia. Estas condiciones producen glóbulos rojos que no viven tanto como los glóbulos rojos normales.

Extractions: The following are the most common symptoms for hemolytic anemia, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of hemolytic anemia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Consult your physician for a diagnosis. Hemolytic anemia is usually discovered during a medical examination through a routine blood test. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hemolytic anemia may include additional blood tests and other evaluation procedures, particularly to check for an enlarged spleen or liver. Specific treatment for hemolytic anemia will be determined by your physician(s) based on: your overall health and medical history extent of the disease your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies

http://www.4anemia.com/causes_and_types/causes_02_07.htm

Extractions: Hemolytic anemia stems from an increase in red blood cell destruction from inherited and acquired conditions. The inherited conditions generally interfere with normal red blood cell production. Among these are spherocytosis (small, round cells), sickle cell anemia (as the name suggests, the cells aren't round but sickle-shaped), and thalassemia Hemolytic anemia also can be caused by antibodies (globulins produced by your body to fight infection) in the blood that bind to red cells and cause their premature destruction in the spleen (the most active site of normal and abnormal red cell destruction). Most commonly, it is the combination of many different drugs, taken for various medical conditions, that creates these antibodies. A large overactive spleen that too-quickly destroys red cells also can bring about hemolytic anemia, a condition called hypersplenism. Besides the other common symptoms of anemia, hemolytic anemia also may produce jaundice in the skin and eyes from the presence of yellow bilirubin, a substance formed when red blood cells break down and release hemoglobin. Additionally, the spleen may become enlarged.

Resistant Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia and Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in dogs. JoanneDickson's notes on AIHA have been reproduced below with her permission.
http://www.vetnet.co.uk/aiha/aiha_dog2.html

Extractions: Lets define the terms of the disease one at a time. "Autoimmune" literally means the immunity against the self. "Hemolytic" is the destruction of red blood cells. "Anemia" is a clinical sign, not a disease. Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBC's) or the amount of hemoglobin, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen- carrying capacity of the blood. The symptoms or clinical signs of AIHA can appear suddenly or they may be gradual and progressive. The signs are usually related to the lack of oxygen and manifest themselves in the form of weakness, lethargy, and an increase in the heart and respiration rate. Pale mucous membranes (gums, ears, eyelids) may be observed. The dog also may appear to be jaundice. This is due to a build up of bilirubin, one of the breakdown products of hemoglobin. Vomiting or abdominal pain may be present. Owners may note the presence of blood in the urine or stool. An increase in temperature may also be observed in some dogs. A diagnosis of AIHA is made on the basis of these clinical signs as well as a CBC. A Coombs test should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. A small percentage of dogs that have AIHA will test negative on the Coombs test.
