Haemolytic anaemia is a condition where haemolytic levels exceed erythrocyte production in the bone marrow, thereby resulting in anaemia[1].

Causes

There are intrinsic and extrinsic causes that may result in haemolytic anaemia:

Intrinsic:

  1. Defects in erythrocyte membranes[2]
  2. Defects in haemoglobin[3]
  3. Defects in erythrocyte metabolic pathways[4]

Extrinsic:

  1. Immune-mediated causes such as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia[5]
  2. Lead poisoning[6]
  3. Runners' macrocytosis (enlargement of red blood cells with near-constant haemoglobin concentration)[7]
