FieldValue
nameAcquired hemolytic anemia
fieldHematology

Acquired hemolytic anemia can be divided into immune and non-immune mediated forms of hemolytic anemia.

Classification

Immune

  • Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
    • Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia
      • Idiopathic
      • Linked with primary immunodeficiency/immunodysregulation syndrome.
      • Lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia associated.
      • Secondary to other malignancies.
      • Associated with SLE or other collagen-vascular disorders.
      • Secondary to viral infection.
    • Cold antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia
    • Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
    • Drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia
  • Alloimmune hemolytic anemia
    • Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)
      • Rh disease (Rh D)
      • ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn
      • Anti-Kell hemolytic disease of the newborn
      • Rhesus c hemolytic disease of the newborn
      • Rhesus E hemolytic disease of the newborn
      • Other blood group incompatibility (RhC, Rhe, Kidd, Duffy, MN, P and others)
    • Alloimmune hemolytic blood transfusion reactions (i.e., from a non-compatible blood type)

Non-immune

  • Traumatic hemolytic anemia
    • Impact
    • Macrovascular defects-prostheses
    • Microvascular causes
      • Disseminated intravascular hemolysis
      • Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
      • Typical and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
      • Other microvascular abnormalities
    • Hypersplenism
    • Hemolytic anemia due to toxic effects on the membrane
      • Spur cell anemia
      • External toxins
        • Animal or spider bites
        • Metals
        • Organic compounds
      • Infectious agents
  • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)

History

The term 'acquired hemolytic anemia' originally appeared in the early 1900s.
