does any-body know about heamolitic anemia?
Question:
Answers:
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which there is premature destruction of red blood cells. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body's immune system, which is meant to defend the body against bacteria, viruses, and any other foreign product, malfunctions and produces antibodies against healthy tissue, cells and organs.
Normally a red blood cell has a life span of approximately 120 days before the spleen removes it from circulation. Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow and released into circulation. In persons with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the red blood cells are destroyed prematurely; and bone marrow production of new cells cannot make up for their loss. The severity of this disorder is determined by the length of time the red blood cell survives and by the ability of the bone marrow to continue red blood cell production.
Symptoms are as follows: nosebleeds, bleeding gums, chills, fatigue, pallor (paleness), shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, yellow sclera (whites of eyes) and skin.
