Hemolytic Anemia
SYMPTOMS. Hemolytic Anemia may show signs of jaundice (a yellowing of the
skin), fever, chills, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and any of the signs
for Iron Deficiency Anemia.
CAUSES. The anemia is caused by the failure of new red blood cells to form
as fast as they are destroyed. The red blood cells being destroyed may be
caused by mismatched blood transfusions, Rh incompatibility, reactions to
some medications and industrial poisons such as aniline and benzene.
TREATMENT. A blood transfusion and other treatment is usually needed.
