===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===
* 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).
====Red blood cell membrane defects====
* Drug side effects: [[Tolbutamide]]
*[[Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]]  
*[[Alpha thalassemia]]
*[[Hereditary spherocytosis]]
*[[Hereditary elliptocytosis]]
*Unstable [[hemoglobin]] variants and [[hemoglobinopathies]]
 
====Red blood cell enzyme deficiencies====
*[[Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency]]
*[[Pyruvate kinase deficiency]]
*[[Triose phosphate isomerase deficiency]]


===Intrinsic or Intracorpuscular===
* Commonly hereditary in nature exceptions, [[paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria]] and acquired [[alpha thalassemia]]
* 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.
===Extrinsic factors===
===Extrinsic factors===
* Commonly acquired in nature
Extrinsic factors refers to those that are commonly acquired in nature and have an adverse effect on red blood cells.
* Antibodies against RBC membrane such as seen in [[autoimmune hemolytic anemia]], [[alloimmune hemolytic anemia]], delayed [hemolytic] transfusion reaction, some drug-induced hemolytic anemias)
 
* RBC destructions secondary to trauma as seen in valvular malfunctioning, [[disseminated intravascular coagulation]], [[thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura]] and [[hemolytic uremic syndrome]]
====Infections====
* Infections - [[malaria]], [[babesiosis]], [[clostridium perfringens]]  
*[[Shiga-toxin]] from [[enterohemorrhagic ''E. coli'' strain O157:H&]]
* Oxidative stress such as aniline dyes, [[dapsone]], [[pyridium]] in normal patients or with [[G6PD deficiency]], congenital [[methemoglobinemia]], or unstable hemoglobin variants.
*[[Parvovirus]]
* [[Hypersplenism]]
*[[Malaria]]
*[[Babesia]]
*[[''Clostridium perfringens'']]  
 
====Autoimmune Conditions====
*Systemic lupus erythematosus
 
====Drugs====
*Pembrolizumab
*Nivolumab
*Ipilimumab
*Durvalumab
*Avelumab
*Dapsone
*Quinines

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 comonly acquired.

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.
