Overview

Classification

Hemolytic anemias can be either genetic or acquired.

Genetic

Acquired

Acquired hemolytic anemia can be further divided into immune and non-immune mediated.

Immune mediated hemolytic anaemia (direct Coombs test is positive)

Non-immune mediated hemolytic anemia (direct Coombs test is negative)
