Overview
Classification
Haemolysis can be intravascular or extravascular.
Intravascular haemolysis
Red blood cell lysis occurs in the circulation as a result of activation of the complement system cascade.
Extravascular haemolysis
Red Blood Cells that are coated with antibodies are specifically recognised in the reticuloendothelial system and destroyed by macrophages.
Subtypes
- Idiopathic
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Evans' syndrome (antiplatelet antibodies and haemolytic antibodies)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Drugs (methyldopa)
- Cold antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Mixed-type autoimmune hemolytic anemia
