Other acquired haemolytic anaemias - what does this mean
Other acquired haemolytic anaemias occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys red blood cells, leading to a decrease in the number of red blood cells available to carry oxygen throughout the body. this can lead to fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - other acquired haemolytic anaemias
Other acquired haemolytic anaemias are a group of disorders characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells (rbcs) in the body due to a variety of causes. these causes can include abnormal rbcs, auto-antibodies, or abnormal immune responses. in some cases, the destruction of rbcs occurs due to a viral or bacterial infection, or exposure to certain drugs or toxins. in other cases, the destruction of rbcs is caused by a genetic mutation, such as sickle cell anaemia.
