==Overview==
==[[Hemolytic anemia overview|Overview]]==


In a healthy person, a red blood cell survives 90 to 120 days (on average) in the circulation, so about 1% of human red blood cells break down each day.  The [[spleen]] (part of the [[reticulo-endothelial system]]) is the main organ which removes old and damaged RBCs from the circulation.  In health the break down and removal of RBCs from the circulation is matched by the production of new RBCs in the [[bone marrow]]. 
==[[Hemolytic anemia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


When the rate of breakdown increases, the body compensates by producing more RBCs, but if compensation is inadequate clinical problems can appear.  Breakdown of RBCs can exceed the rate that the body can make RBCs and so anemia can develop.  The breakdown products of [[hemoglobin]] will accumulate in the blood causing [[jaundice]] and be excreted in the urine causing the urine to become dark brown in colour.
==[[Hemolytic anemia classification|Classification]]==


==Symptoms==
==[[Hemolytic anemia pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Signs of [[anemia]] are generally present ([[Fatigue (physical)|fatigue]], later [[heart failure]]).  Jaundice may be present.
