What is hemolytic anemia?
Hemolytic anemia is a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed and removed from the bloodstream before their normal lifespan is over. Treatment depends on the type and cause of anemia. Folic acid and iron supplements may be needed and, in severe cases, a transfusion might be necessary.
