In hematology, Hemolytic anemia is an "A condition of inadequate circulating red blood cells (anemia) or insufficient hemoglobin due to premature destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes)."[1]

Classification

One classification is based on whether hemolysis occurs intravascularly or extravascularly. Another classification is whether the erythrocytes are intrinsically normal:[2]

Hemolytic anemia associated with normal red cells

Hemolytic anemia associated with abnormal red cells

Diagnosis
