Revision as of 01:01, 22 December 2014
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
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Direct antiglobulin ("Coombs") test-negative
- Direct antiglobulin ("Coombs") test-positive
- Cold agglutinin disease[3]
- Complement-induced lysis
- Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Includes Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
- Others
Hemolytic anemia associated with abnormal red cells
- Hemoglobinopathies. Includes Sickle cell anemia.
- Metabolic deficiency
- Erythrocyte membrane abnormality. Includes Hereditary spherocytosis.
- Others
Diagnosis
Hemolysis
- Haptoglobin's role in diagnosis has been reviewed.[4][5] Its accuracy is:[6]
- Sensitivity 83%
- Specificity 96%
- Lactate dehydrogenase
- Bilirubin may not be very sensitive.[7]
- Reticulocyte count[8]
- Peripheral smear[9]
Autoimmunity:
- Red-blood-cell-bound immunoglobulin G[10]
- Coombs' test, using the direct method, may have 97% sensitivity for detecting warm antibodies.[11][12]
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
- Platelet count
- ADAMTS13 protein activity and inhibitor (von Willebrand factor-degrading protease)[13]
