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

Abnormally round red blood cells that can lead to hemolytic anemia.

Aggregates of denatured hemoglobin in red blood cells, indicating damage.

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

A rare blood disorder causing clots that can lead to MAHA.

A condition where the immune system attacks its own red blood cells.

A serious condition that leads to widespread clotting and bleeding.

Fragmented red blood cells seen in certain types of hemolytic anemia.

A rapid type of hemolytic anemia that occurs suddenly.

Hemolytic anemia caused by external factors outside the red blood cells.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia that occurs at body temperature.

Direct Coombs test showing antibodies on RBCs.

Macrocytic anemia due to impaired DNA synthesis.

Large oval-shaped red blood cells seen in megaloblastic anemia.

Increased number of cells in the bone marrow.

Immature red blood cells with ribosomal RNA.

Lactate dehydrogenase levels rise in hemolysis.

Byproduct of hemoglobin breakdown, elevated in hemolysis.

Low levels of neutrophils in the blood.

Rapid onset cancer from immature blood cells.

Immature red blood cells still containing a nucleus.

Immature white blood cells from myeloid lineage.

Immature cells indicative of various blood cancers.

Anemia characterized by low MCV (<80 fL) and low MCHC (<32 g/dL), often due to iron deficiency.

Condition where red blood cells are smaller than normal, typically seen in iron deficiency anemia.

Common cause of hypochromic microcytic anemia due to lack of iron intake or absorption.

Abnormally shaped red blood cells often seen in anemia of chronic disorders.

A protein that stores iron in the body; low levels indicate iron deficiency.

Test measuring the blood's capacity to bind iron with transferrin; often increased in iron deficiency.

A precursor to red blood cells involved in iron metabolism; abnormal levels suggest anemia issues.

Anemia caused by the body's inability to properly incorporate iron into hemoglobin despite adequate iron stores.

Genetic disorder that results in abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to hemolytic anemia.

Anemia with normal MCV and MCHC; often occurs in chronic diseases.

Genetic condition causing red blood cells to be spherical and fragile.

A genetic disorder where red blood cells become rigid and sickle-shaped, leading to blockages in blood flow.

Enzyme deficiency that can lead to hemolytic anemia under oxidative stress.

Yellowing of skin and eyes due to excess bilirubin from RBC breakdown, often seen in hemolytic anemia.
