Understanding Hemolytic Anemias
Hemolytic anemias are crucial for hematologists to grasp, often presenting as unexplained acute anemia associated with homolysis, the breakdown of red blood cells. Symptoms indicating homolysis include jaundice, dark urine, and abdominal pain. Key considerations for diagnosis involve evaluating the patient's history, recent medications, illnesses, and family history of anemia. Laboratory tests like CBC, reticulocyte count, LDH, and the direct antiglobulin test (DAT) play a significant role in confirming hemolytic anemias.
