A condition where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made.

Aggregates of denatured hemoglobin found in red blood cells during hemolytic anemia.

A type of hemolytic anemia caused by small blood vessel damage.

A rare blood disorder leading to the formation of small clots in blood vessels.

A serious disorder in which blood clots form throughout the body's small blood vessels.

Abnormally shaped red blood cells that are spherical instead of biconcave, often seen in hemolytic anemia.

Rapid destruction of red blood cells leading to anemia, often following transfusion reactions.

A medical device used to replace a damaged heart valve which can cause red blood cell destruction.

A fragmented red blood cell, often seen in conditions like hemolytic anemia and DIC.

Inherited conditions that cause the premature destruction of red blood cells.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia occurring at body temperature.

Direct Antiglobulin Test, indicating antibodies attached to RBCs.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia that occurs at lower temperatures.

Macrocytic anemia due to Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency.

Anemia characterized by larger than normal red blood cells.

A protein necessary for Vitamin B12 absorption in the intestine.

Immature red blood cells often elevated in anemia.

Neutrophils with more than five nuclear lobes, seen in megaloblastic anemia.

Iron Deficiency Anemia, a common type of microcytic anemia.

A type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the rapid growth of myeloid cells.

Cancer of the blood and bone marrow characterized by lymphoblasts.

An increase in cell numbers in the bone marrow, often seen in hematologic disorders.

Presence of red blood cells of unequal size, often a sign of anemia.

Anemia characterized by low MCH and MCV, often due to iron deficiency.

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin; measures the average amount of hemoglobin per RBC.

Mean corpuscular volume; indicates average size of red blood cells.

Measures the amount of circulating iron in the blood.

A protein that stores iron; low levels indicate depleted iron stores.

Total iron-binding capacity; high levels indicate iron deficiency.

Anemia associated with chronic infections or inflammation.

Anemia due to impaired heme synthesis, leading to iron overload.

Anemia due to defects within the red blood cells.

Genetic disorder causing misshaped red blood cells, leading to blockage and pain.

A measure of immature red blood cells; reflects bone marrow activity.

An inherited condition where red blood cells break down prematurely due to enzyme lack.

Yellowing of skin and eyes caused by high bilirubin due to hemolysis.

Enlargement of the spleen; often due to increased RBC destruction.
