Abstract INTRODUCTION Hemolytic anemia may be associated with multiple etiologies, including toxic substances, such as metals, which is a rare cause. [unboundmedicine.com]

A dual etiology is responsible: direct toxicity of VPA on bone marrow and VPA’s inclusion with and modification of the platelet membrane [ 4 ]. Acute TMA in conjunction with VPA toxicity has, to our knowledge, not been reported. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]

Causes include RBC membrane abnormalities such as bound immunoglobulin, or physical abnormalities restricting RBC deformability that prevent egress from the spleen. Extravascular hemolysis is characterized by spherocytes. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

Anemia Prevention Some common forms of anemia are most easily prevented by eating a healthy diet and limiting alcohol use. Many types of anemia can be avoided by seeing a doctor regularly to check blood tests and when problems arise. [emedicinehealth.com]

In order to prevent infectious diseases through vaccination, it is important to identify specific antigens which often exist in the cell membrane and capsule and also become the centre of host-pathogen interactions. [mbiotech.org]

Acute, fulminating hemolytic anemic crisis is treated with fluid and electrolyte replacement to prevent shock and renal damage from clogging the kidney tubules by red cell debris. Transfusions of blood products are sometimes given. [innvista.com]

Management of TTP/HUS must be initiated emergently if this diagnosis is suspected to prevent adverse outcomes. Treatment of TTP/HUS involves plasma exchange. Avoid platelet transfusions as this may lead to exacerbation of symptoms. [clinicaladvisor.com]
