Overview
There is a small role for preventive measures in hemolytic anemia. Primary prevention focuses on preventing the disease onset before the disease process begins. Avoidance of hemolysis triggers a primary prevention measure.
Primary Prevention
Primary prevention for hemolytic anemia includes avoidance of particular triggers for hemolysis. This includes:
- Avoidance of immunotherapeutic drugs
- Avoidance of unnecessary antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethaxone[1]
- Avoidance of fava beans for patients who have G6PD deficiency
- Use of bioprothetic cardiac valves over mechanical valves to prevent valve-induced hemolysis
