haemolytic anaemias are characterized by?

Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made. The destruction of red blood cells is called hemolysis. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. If you have a lower than normal amount of red blood cells, you have anemia.

Alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus pneumoniae and a group of oral streptococci (Streptococcus viridans or viridans streptococci) display alpha-hemolysis. Alpha-hemolysis is also termed incomplete hemolysis or partial hemolysis because the cell membranes of the red blood cells are left intact.

Often, the first test used to diagnose anemia is a complete blood count (CBC). The CBC measures many parts of your blood. This test checks your hemoglobin and hematocrit (hee-MAT-oh-crit) levels. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body.

Meaning. Determining the average size of red blood cells is very helpful in determining the type of anemia present and more: High MCV is seen with macrocytic anemias such as vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. Low MCV is seen with microcytic anemias such as iron deficiency anemia.

Anemia is a frequent finding of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) diagnosis. It is usually mild, with hemoglobin levels between 10 and 12 g/dl; it is rarely (<10% of cases) a result of bone marrow infiltration; and it displays the characteristics of the anemia of chronic disease due to abnormalities in iron metabolism.

['A type blood has only A antigens on red blood cells.', 'B type blood has only B antigens on red blood cells.', 'AB has both A and B antigens on red blood cells.', 'O has neither A nor B antigens on red blood cells.']

As verified by Bessman and Feinstein(15), homogeneous microcytosis is observed in patients with thalassemia minor when in comparison with that of iron deficiency anemia patients. As a result, RDW tends to be higher in iron deficiency anemia than in thalassemia minor(5).

The blood groups being positive and negative is defined by the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of RBCs. If this surface has antigen then it is called as positive if the surface does not have antigen then it is called a negative blood group. The antigen present is known as RH antigen or rhesus .

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when your immune system makes antibodies that attack your red blood cells . This causes a drop in the number of red blood cells , leading to hemolytic anemia.

Hemoglobin, or Hb, is usually expressed in grams per deciliter (g/dL) of blood. A low level of hemoglobin in the blood relates directly to a low level of oxygen. In the United States, anemia is diagnosed if a blood test finds less than 13.5 g/dL in a man or less than 12 g/dL in a woman.

Anemia is classified in two ways, either morphological classification or pathophysiological classification. The morphological classification is based on the size or volume of the red blood cell and may also be classified by the hemoglobin content of the red blood cell.

In this method, both forward (cell), as well as reverse (serum) grouping is carried out. The forward grouping suggests the presence or absence of A and B antigens in RBCs, whereas reverse grouping indicates the presence or absences of anti-A and anti-B in serum.

However, a varied size distribution of red blood cells is a hallmark of iron deficiency anemia, and as such shows an increased RDW in virtually all cases. In the case of both iron and B12 deficiencies, there will normally be a mix of both large cells and small cells, causing the RDW to be elevated.

Immune Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia (IMHA) is a condition where the body's immune system, which normally fights infection, starts to damage and destroy red blood cells. This results in the affected animal becoming anaemic (having a low red blood cell count).

Dengue fever is characterized by leucopenia (White Blood Cells (WBC) < 5000 cells/mm3), thrombocytopenia (< 150,000 cells/mm3), rising haematocrit (5–10%) and there should be no evidence of plasma leakage [10].

Microcytic anemia is defined as the presence of small, often hypochromic, red blood cells in a peripheral blood smear and is usually characterized by a low MCV (less than 83 micron 3). Iron deficiency is the most common cause of microcytic anemia.
