Hemolytic Anemia Overview
Red blood cells have the important mission of carrying oxygen from your lungs to your heart and throughout your entire body. Your bone marrow is responsible for making these red blood cells.
When destruction of red blood cells outpaces your bone marrow’s production of these cells, hemolytic anemia occurs. Hemolytic anemia can be extrinsic or intrinsic.
