Hemolytic anemia should be treated with the root cause. Left untreated, severe hemolytic anemia can cause serious heart trouble.

Types of hemolytic anemia

There are many different types of anemia. Hemolytic anemia happens when our red blood cells break down or die faster than they usually do. Red blood cells normally live for about 120 days. When they break down or die sooner than that, our bone marrow doesn’t have time to produce enough new red blood cells, leaving us with a low red blood cell count.

Other anemia types may occur when:

• Injury or illness causes excessive bleeding that drains one’s red blood cell supply faster than his/her body can replace it.
• Something affects red blood cell production so patient’s body either produces fewer red blood cells or produces abnormal red blood cells.

Hemolytic anemia is less common than anemia caused by excessive bleeding or slow red blood cell production. Each of these types may affect people of all age groups, races and genders.

What happens if hemolytic anemia is not treated?

Severe hemolytic anemia can lead to serious heart conditions, including arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

Difference between hemolytic anemia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when our immune system mistakes red blood cells for unwanted or foreign substances. Our body reacts by producing antibodies that destroy the red blood cells, causing anemia. Different factors may cause hemolytic anemia, including inherited conditions, infections and some allopathic medications.

Hemolytic anemia may be caused by inherited conditions that affect the red blood cells. It’s also caused by certain infections or if someone receives a blood transfusion from a donor whose blood type didn’t match.

What inherited conditions can cause hemolytic anemia?

Some common inherited conditions are:

• Sickle cell anemia: In this disease, our body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells that are trapped in small blood vessels, our spleen and or in liver.
• Thalassemia: This is another group of inherited blood disorders that cause our body to make abnormal red blood cells that are easily destroyed.
• G6PD deficiency: This genetic disorder affects an enzyme that protects red blood cells. When this enzyme level drops, blood cells exposed to certain infections or medications are likely to break apart.

Infections that cause hemolytic anemia

Infections linked to hemolytic anemia include:

• Malaria: This disease happens when mosquitos infected with tiny malaria parasites bite people, leaving parasites in people’s bloodstreams. Left untreated, malaria can cause hemolytic anemia.
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever: This infection spreads when ticks infected with the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsia bite people.
• Haemophilus influenzas disease: These are infections caused by the bacteria H. influenza.
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): These viruses causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Drugs that cause hemolytic anemia

Some people develop hemolytic anemia from taking certain allopathic medications. A good doctor should review his/her patient’s medical history and current problems to be sure about patient’s medication for example:

The following drugs seem to cause pancreatitis: azathioprine, thiazides, sulfonamides, furosemide, estrogens, and tetracycline, asparaginase, iatrogenic hypercalcemia, chlorthalidone, corticosteroids, ethacrynic acid, phenformin, and procainamide. sulfonamides, furosemide, estrogens, and tetracycline, metronidazole (they causes pancreatitis and some of them causes pancreatic cancer).

In certain cases, medicines may cause an inflamed pancreas (pancreatitis), they include:

• Antibiotics (Cephalosporin, Dapsone, also known as “sulfonyldianiline” or “diaminodiphenyl sulfone”, commonly used for the treatment of leprosy; Nitrofurantoin, panciline).
• Drugs that suppress the immune system.
• Drugs used to treat high blood pressure (for example methyldopa etc).
• Aminosalicylates.
• Diuretics.
• NSAID (for example diclofenac, Ibuprofen, phenazopyridine (pyridium), quinidine etc.)
• Corticosteroids.
• Estrogen.
• Drugs used to treat diabetes.
• Valproate.
• General anesthetics.
• Antidepressants.
• Levadopa (Anti Parkinson’s disease).
• Analgesics like – paracetamol, phenazopyridine etc.
• Quinidine (to treat cardiac rhythms) and many others – a long list. 👀🕵️‍♀️

Many medicines can cause pancreatitis, and/or anemia. The ones listed above are just some examples.

Symptoms

Hemolytic symptoms can be mild or more severe. They also can come on suddenly or develop over time. Typical symptoms include:

• Jaundice: This condition affects the skin, the sclera (whites of the eyes) and our mucous membranes, causing them to turn yellow. This happens when patient have a high level of bilirubin caused by a breakdown of our red blood cells.
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea): This happens when someone don’t have enough red blood cells carrying oxygen throughout the body.
• Fatigue: Fatigue is a sensation of being so tired that it affects our daily life and our ability to do daily activities.
• Tachycardia: This condition means our heart is beating faster than it should. When our heart beats too fast, it doesn’t have enough time between beats to fill up with blood, and our heart can’t supply our body with the oxygen it needs.
• Low blood pressure (hypotension): Low blood pressure can be a symptom or a condition. It happens when our blood pressure is much lower than expected.
• Hematuria: This can be a symptom of sickle cell disease.
• Enlarged spleen or liver: Our liver and spleen filter red blood cells as the cells move through our body. Red blood cells that are damaged or dying are trapped by our spleen and liver, which destroy the cells. A larger-than-normal spleen or liver may be a sign patient’s red blood cells are damaged.

Can anemia be a medical emergency?

Acute anemia may be a symptom of sudden and severe loss of blood or a sign that red blood cells are being destroyed very quickly. Patients who have acute anemia may have the following symptoms:

• They’re very fatigued.
• Tachycardia.
• They have trouble catching their breath.

A doctor can diagnose hemolytic anemia by:

• Asking about patient’s medical history and family history (family members with anemia).
• Asking if your patient if he/she has certain infections or are taking certain allopathic medications.
• A physical examination for anemia signs and symptoms, jaundice or if patient’s spleen or liver is enlarged.

Blood test required are

Several blood tests to diagnose hemolytic anemia and for genetic markers (signs of inherited conditions) that cause hemolytic anemia. A complete blood count (CBC) is one of the preliminary tests.

A CBC measures:

• How many red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets patient has.
• The size of patient’s red blood cells.
• Hemoglobin (oxygen career throughout our body).
• Hematocrit (the amount of space our red blood cells take in our blood.

Additional tests

Some additional tests to identify the kind of anemia, including hemolytic anemia:

• Coombs test (direct antiglobulin test): This test checks for autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
• Reticulocyte count: A reticulocyte count measures the number of immature red blood cells (reticulocytes) in our bone marrow, to find out if patient’s bone marrow is producing enough healthy red blood cells.
• Haptoglobin test: Haptoglobin is a protein that eliminates debris produced by damaged red blood cells. Low haptoglobin levels may be a sign of damaged red blood cells.
• Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH): LDH (an enzyme in red blood cells) a high LDH level may be a sign of increased red blood cell destruction.
• Unconjugated bilirubin: When our red blood cells break down, they make bilirubin. This test measures the amount of bilirubin that’s not being processed by our liver. This is unconjugated bilirubin. A high unconjugated bilirubin level may be a sign that large numbers of red blood cells are being destroyed.
• Peripheral blood smear: for signs of cell abnormalities, including size and shape.
• Hemoglobin electrophoresis: to analyze hemoglobin (helps cells carry oxygen throughout our body).

An allopathic doctor treats hemolytic anemia based on the cause of patient’s illness and if patient having severe symptoms. For example, if a doctor believes that patient has severe anemia, they may order blood transfusions to stabilize patient’s red blood cell count. Then doctor will diagnose the underlying condition that’s causing patient to have anemia so he/she can treat the condition.

An Homeopathic doctor treats hemolytic anemia based on the cause of patient’s illness and patient’s other symptoms.

Studies demonstrated that the medication induces an increase in leukocyte number. If an underlying illness is responsible for patient’s symptoms, treating and managing the underlying condition should help keep anemia and hemolytic anemia. symptoms at bay.
