Study Notes

Anemia Classifications

Hemorrhagic anemia is a type of anemia caused by acute or chronic blood loss.
Hemolytic anemia results from the premature destruction of red blood cells, which can occur due to various intrinsic or extrinsic factors affecting the red blood cells, leading to a decreased life span.

Important Notes

Degenerative anemia is not a standard classification and may be a misnomer.
Regenerative anemia refers specifically to the bone marrow's response to anemia, characterized by increased production of red blood cells, often seen in cases of blood loss or hemolysis.
