(D59.6) Haemoglobinuria due to haemolysis from other external causes

Haemoglobinuria due to haemolysis from other external causes occurs when red blood cells are broken down and the haemoglobin contained within them is released into the bloodstream. this can be caused by trauma, certain medications, infections, or other medical conditions.

Haemoglobinuria due to haemolysis from other external causes is caused by the destruction of red blood cells, resulting in the release of haemoglobin into the urine. this can be caused by a variety of external factors, such as certain drugs, toxins, infections, or physical trauma. the haemolysis can be triggered by an autoimmune response, a deficiency of red cell enzymes, or a genetic defect in the red cell membrane. the released haemoglobin is then cleared out of the body by the kidneys, resulting in haemoglobinuria.

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the rate of haemolysis and to replenish the body's haemoglobin levels.

• Administering fluids and electrolytes to replace lost fluids and electrolytes
• Administering blood transfusions to replenish haemoglobin levels
• Prescribing medications to reduce haemolysis such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants
• Administering iron supplements to replenish iron levels
• Prescribing medications to reduce inflammation and pain
• Administering antibiotics to treat any underlying infection
• Providing lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of haemolysis
• Referring the patient to a specialist for further investigations

Haemoglobinuria due to haemolysis from other external causes can be prevented by avoiding exposure to toxins, drugs, and other environmental factors that can cause haemolysis, as well as by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet. additionally, regular health screenings can help identify potential causes of haemolysis before it becomes a problem.
