In a healthy person, a red blood cell survives 90 to 120 days in the circulation,
In conditions where the rate of RBC breakdown is increased, the body initially compensates by producing more RBCs; however, breakdown of RBCs can exceed the rate that the body can make RBCs, and so anemia can develop.
The normal adult marrow, after full expansion, is able to produce red cells at 6-8 times the normal rate and this leads to reticulocytosis.
Therefore Hemolytic Anemias may not be seen until the red cell lifespan is less than 30 days.�type of anemia result from an increase in the rate of red cell destruction. which leads to reduction in the mean lifespan of the red cell

Approch to hemolytic anaemia
Deffention of anemia
Inability of red blood cell to carry oxygen from lung to be utilized in other body tissues due to decrease red blood cell mass Normal values of hb :- Hb …….male 13.5-17.5 Hb…..female 11.5-15.5
Classification of anemia According to morphology and size of rbc
According to etiology
Impaired production : 1- nutrient deficiency : Iron deficiency anemia Megaloblastic anemia * folate and vit b 12 deficiency 2- chronic disease : Renal disease . Liver disease . 3- sideroblastic anemia 4- aplastic anemia
Extrensic factors ( extracorpascular ) Immune : auto immune allo immune drug induced Mechanical : macro angiopathic Cardiac Direct effect of physical or chemical or infectious Hyper spleenism
Hemolytic anamia
Deffenetion of hemolytic anemia type of anemia result from an increase in the rate of red cell destruction. which leads to reduction in the mean lifespan of the red cell
In a healthy person, a red blood cell survives 90 to 120 days in the circulation, In conditions where the rate of RBC breakdown is increased, the body initially compensates by producing more RBCs; however, breakdown of RBCs can exceed the rate that the body can make RBCs, and so anemia can develop. The normal adult marrow, after full expansion, is able to produce red cells at 6-8 times the normal rate and this leads to reticulocytosis . Therefore Hemolytic Anemias may not be seen until the red cell lifespan is less than 30 days.

ASH GUIDLINESS
Diagnostic tests Indication for tests Primary evaluation Hemolytic screen FBC, blood smear, LDH, haptoglobin, bilirubin, DAT, reticulocyte count with or without urine for hemosiderin or urine dipstick for microscopy Detection of underlying disorders (investigation of AIHA) Serum Igs and electrophoresis HIV, HBV, HCV Anti-dsDNA, ANA CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis Additional investigation in selected patients with AIHA Bone marrow examination CAD, age ≥ 60 years, features in history, examination, FBC or smear suggesting possible marrow infiltration U&E, LFT, clotting, BP, urine dipstick If pregnant or thrombocytopenic, to exclude DIC or pregnancy-associated TMA Infection screening Dependent on symptoms, travel history, and age Parvovirus, hematinics If reticulocytopenia Thermal range of cold antibody If clinical significance of cold autoagglutinin unclear
Additional serological investigation in selected patients with AIHA DAggT If DAT positive for C3d ± IgG Cold antibody titer If DAggT positive Monospecific DAT for IgM, G, A, C3d If DAT-negative AIHA suspected Red cell eluate If (monospecific) DAT-negative AIHA suspected Donath Landsteiner If DAT is positive for C3d ± IgG and i ) DAggT -negative or insignificant CAs and
ANA, antinuclear antibody; BP, blood pressure; CAD, cold agglutinin disease; CAs, cold agglutinins; CT, computerized tomography; DAggT , direct agglutination test; DIC, disseminated intravascular coagulation; dsDNA, double-stranded DNA; FBC, full blood count; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCV, hepatitis C virus; LFT, liver function tests; TMA, thrombotic microangiopathy; U&E, urea and electrolytes.
Caused by antibody produce by body against himself Charactrized by positive dat ( coombs ) which is divided into warm and cold agglutinin test 15-25% of AIHA was – ve DAT
Classification of immune hemolytic anamia
Warm type Cold type Autoimmune Idiopasic Secondary ( sle,cll,lymphoma ) Drugs(methyl dopa) Idiopasic Secondary Infections ( mycoplasmic pnemina ,infectious mononucleosis) Lymphoma Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria Alloimmune Induced by RBCS antigen Hemolytic transfusion reaction Post stem cell graft Drug induce AB react strongly with RBCS at 37*c AB react strongly with RBCS 4*c IgG +/-c3 IgM ttt …..steroid , rituximab.spleenectomy ttt …… rituximab,steroid and splenectomy has no role
Treatment
i.supportive ttt :- 1-good hydration of pt 2- analgesic to control body ache 3- antipyretic in case of high fever 4- pan culture in case of infection 5- antibiotic coverage 6-prophylactic anticoagulant if not contraindicated 7-Blood transfusion if needed
