Mechanisms of Hemolysis in Hemolytic Anemia
Hemolytic anemia is characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs), leading to anemia and increased erythropoiesis as compensation...
Types of Hemolysis
Intravascular Hemolysis
Occurs within the bloodstream due to complement activation or mechanical damage...
Extravascular Hemolysis
Takes place primarily in the spleen and liver due to phagocytic activity...
Biochemical Pathways Involved
Multiple biochemical mechanisms contribute to RBC destruction, including oxidative stress, membrane defects, and enzyme deficiencies...
