Treatments For Acquired Hemolytic Anemia

Acquired hemolytic anemia is a rare form in anemia bracket of diseases. In individuals with anemia, the bone marrow either fails to create a sufficient amount of red blood cells or creates cells that don't function as well as they should. Red blood cells are crucial for carrying oxygen throughout the body, and when we are lacking them, our oxygen-deprived bodies leave us feeling short of breath or tired. Red blood cells typically live for around four months before new ones replace them. In patients with acquired hemolytic anemia, the body destroys these cells before new ones are created to replace them. Sometimes, these blood cells only live for a few days.
