The causes for hemolytic anemia can be divided into intracorpuscular or extracorpuscular causes. The intrinsic causes are commonly due to [[hereditary]] causes whereas the extrinsic causes are commonly acquired. [[Drugs]] are another major cause of [[hemolysis]]. In the era of [[immunotherapy]] for [[cancer]], drug-related causes are becoming increasingly important to recognize.

==Causes==


===Common Causes===
The causes of hemolytic anemia can be divided into etiologies that are intrinsic to [[red blood cell]] biology or extrinsic to [[red blood cell]] biology. Intrinsic, or intracorpuscular, causes include [[red blood cell]] membrane defects or enzyme deficiencies. Extrinsic causes include [[infections]], [[autoimmune]] conditions, or [[drugs]].
* [[Hemolytic anemia]] occurs when the bone marrow is unable to increase production to make up for the premature destruction of red blood cells.
 
* If the [[bone marrow]] is able to keep up with the early destruction, [[anemia]] does not occur (this is sometimes called compensated [[hemolysis]]).
===Intrinsic or Intracorpuscular Factors===
* There are many types of [[hemolytic anemia]], which are classified by the reason for the premature destruction of red blood cells. The defect may be in the red blood cell itself (intrinsic factors), or outside the red blood cell (extrinsic factors).
 
* Drug side effects: [[Tolbutamide]]
====Red blood cell membrane defects====
*[[Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]]
*[[Alpha thalassemia]]
*[[Hereditary spherocytosis]]: This is the most common hereditary form of hemolytic anemia.<ref name="pmid24466544">{{cite journal| author=Jung HL| title=A new paradigm in the diagnosis of hereditary hemolytic anemia. | journal=Blood Res | year= 2013 | volume= 48 | issue= 4 | pages= 237-9 | pmid=24466544 | doi=10.5045/br.2013.48.4.237 | pmc=3894378 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24466544  }} </ref> It is caused by [[mutations]] in [[red blood cell]] [[cytoskeletal]] [[proteins]], such as:
**[[Spectrin]]
**[[Ankyrin]]
**[[Band 3]]
**[[Band 4.1]]
**[[Glycophorin]]
*[[Hereditary elliptocytosis]]
*Unstable [[hemoglobin]] variants and [[hemoglobinopathies]]
 
====Red blood cell enzyme deficiencies====
*[[Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency]]
*[[Pyruvate kinase deficiency]]
*[[Triosephosphate isomerase|Triose phosphate isomerase]] [[deficiency]]
 
===Extrinsic Factors===
Extrinsic factors refers to those that are commonly acquired in nature and have an adverse effect on [[Red blood cell|red blood cells]].
 
====Infections====
*Shiga-toxin from [[EHEC|enterohemorrhagic E. coli]] strain O157:H&
*[[Parvovirus]]
*[[Malaria]]
*[[Babesia]]
*[[Clostridium perfringens]]
 
====Autoimmune or rheumatologic conditions====
Systemic activation of the [[immune system]] due to underlying [[Rheumatologic disease|rheumatologic]] conditions can result in a predisposition for [[hemolysis]].
*[[Systemic lupus erythematosus]]


===Intrinsic or Intracorpuscular===
====Drugs====
* Commonly hereditary in nature exceptions, [[paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]] and acquired [[alpha thalassemia]]
These are important causes of [[hemolysis]], especially in the era of [[immunotherapy]] for [[cancer]]. As more immunotherapeutic agents reach the market, it is likely that there will be more cases of [[iatrogenic]] hemolytic anemia.
* Occurs secondary to abnormalities in RBC components such as [[hemoglobin]], RBC membranes (alpha or beta globin chains in thalassemia, [[hereditary spherocytosis]], [[paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]]), [[glycolysis]], and reducing power of the RBC.
*[[Pembrolizumab]]
===Extrinsic factors===
*[[Nivolumab]]
* Commonly acquired in nature
*[[Ipilimumab]]
* Antibodies against RBC membrane such as seen in [[autoimmune hemolytic anemia]], [[alloimmune hemolytic anemia]], delayed [hemolytic] transfusion reaction, some drug-induced hemolytic anemias)
*Durvalumab
* RBC destructions secondary to trauma as seen in valvular malfunctioning, [[disseminated intravascular coagulation]], [[thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura]] and [[hemolytic uremic syndrome]]
*Avelumab
* Infections - [[malaria]], [[babesiosis]], [[clostridium perfringens]]
*[[Dapsone]]
* Oxidative stress such as aniline dyes, [[dapsone]], [[pyridium]] in normal patients or with [[G6PD deficiency]], congenital [[methemoglobinemia]], or unstable hemoglobin variants.
*[[Quinine|Quinines]]
* [[Hypersplenism]]

Overview

The causes for hemolytic anemia can be divided into intracorpuscular or extracorpuscular causes. The intrinsic causes are commonly due to hereditary causes whereas the extrinsic causes are commonly acquired. Drugs are another major cause of hemolysis. In the era of immunotherapy for cancer, drug-related causes are becoming increasingly important to recognize.

Causes

The causes of hemolytic anemia can be divided into etiologies that are intrinsic to red blood cell biology or extrinsic to red blood cell biology. Intrinsic, or intracorpuscular, causes include red blood cell membrane defects or enzyme deficiencies. Extrinsic causes include infections, autoimmune conditions, or drugs.

Intrinsic or Intracorpuscular Factors

Red blood cell membrane defects

Red blood cell enzyme deficiencies

Extrinsic Factors

Extrinsic factors refers to those that are commonly acquired in nature and have an adverse effect on red blood cells.

Infections

Autoimmune or rheumatologic conditions

Systemic activation of the immune system due to underlying rheumatologic conditions can result in a predisposition for hemolysis.

Drugs

These are important causes of hemolysis, especially in the era of immunotherapy for cancer. As more immunotherapeutic agents reach the market, it is likely that there will be more cases of iatrogenic hemolytic anemia.
