Most often, it presents in middle-aged and older individuals. Presentation Symptoms Symptoms are due to both anaemia and the underlying disorder. Patients with minimal or long-standing haemolytic anaemia can be asymptomatic. [patient.info]

If agglutination occurs, IgG antibodies (autoantibodies or alloantibodies) against RBCs are present. This test is also used to determine the specificity of an alloantibody. [msdmanuals.com]

• Fever

  Certain conditions like infection, fever, and physical stress can lead to more red blood cell destruction than usual. If this occurs, the body will try to produce more red blood cells to keep up with the level of destruction that occurs. [ihtc.org]

• Rigor

  In any newborn infant with hemolytic jaundice, rigorous bilirubin monitoring and treatment are needed, particularly during the first weeks of life, and monitoring of the hemoglobin level is required during the first months of life. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  This fragmentation occurs in a diverse group of disorders, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, preeclampsia, eclampsia, malignant hypertension, and scleroderma renal crisis. [aafp.org]

  This last group of disorders includes the microangiopathies, which are characterized by fragmented red cells (schistocytes), including DIC, TTP, HUS, eclampsia, carcinomatosis, allograft rejection, and malignant hypertension. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Diagnosis Diagnostic tests For all anemias: Because many therapies--especially erythrocyte transfusions--can interfere with the diagnostic workup, it is generally recommended that, if possible, relevant studies of whole blood, plasma, and serum are obtained [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Treatment The symptoms of HS are treatable, but the inherited red blood cell defect is not curable. The treatment for young children and those with mild HS may include oral folic acid which is needed to make RBC’s. [ihtc.org]
