Hemolytic anemia

Hemolytic anemia is a condition where your body's immune system or other factors cause your red blood cells, which carry oxygen, to break down prematurely. This leads to a shortage of healthy red blood cells, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Causes can include autoimmune diseases, certain medications, inherited disorders, or infections. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications, blood transfusions, or managing the immune response. Recognizing and addressing hemolytic anemia is important to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
