About Hemolytic Anemia

Hemolytic anemia is not a single procedure but a group of disorders where red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can produce them, leading to fatigue, jaundice, and shortness of breath. An Internal Medicine specialist manages this condition through a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic process. This involves detailed blood tests, identifying the underlying cause (such as autoimmune disorders, infections, or genetic defects), and implementing targeted treatments. Management may include medications like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, blood transfusions in severe cases, and addressing the root cause. The goal is to stabilize red blood cell counts, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications, requiring ongoing monitoring and personalized care plans.
