Acquired hemolytic anemias are a group of conditions where the body destroys red blood cells faster than they can be produced. This leads to a shortage of red blood cells, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. Common causes include autoimmune disorders, infections, certain medications, and exposure to toxins. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to check for signs of hemolysis, such as elevated bilirubin levels and low haptoglobin. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, which may involve medications, blood transfusions, or other therapies. Early detection and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
