Presentation
The classic clinical presentation of hemolytic anemia is jaundice, pallor, and splenomegaly. [obgynkey.com]
Other beta chain structural defects may also present under such circumstances. [oncologynurseadvisor.com]
Splenomegaly and Heinz bodies may also be present. Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis for patients with hemolytic anemia depends on the underlying cause. Overall, mortality rates are low in hemolytic anemias. However, the risk is greater in older patients and patients with cardiovascular impairment. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Course and prognosis Hemolytic episodes in the A– type of deficiency are usually self-limited, even if drug administration is continued. This is not the case in the more severe Mediterranean type of deficiency. [g6pd.org]
The prognosis of homozygous Hb C disease is excellent. An individual may inherit a Hb S gene from one parent and a Hb C gene from the other. The result of this double whammy is Hb SC disease. [web2.iadfw.net]
