	Megaloblastic Anemia - Megaloblastic Anemia Information
		Megaloblastic Anemia is defined as a decrease in the circulating RBC mass and a corresponding decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
		A hallmark of megaloblastic anemia is ineffective erythropoiesis, as evidenced by erythroid hyperplasia in the bone marrow, a decreased peripheral reticulocyte count, and an elevation in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and indirect bilirubin levels.
		If the megaloblastic anemia is thought to be caused from a problem in the digestive tract, a barium study of the digestive system may be performed.

	Haemolytic Anaemia \| Home remedy and cure of Haemolytic Anaemia
		Haemolytic anaemia is a breakdown of red cells with haemolysis which results in anaemia.
		In 'autoimmune' haemolytic anaemia it seems that the body is producing its own attack - that is, it is producing 'antibodies' which it would normally produce to fight infections to fight its own cells.
		Acquired haemolytic anaemia may also be caused by the presence of antibodies (proteins produced by the body to fight infection) in the blood.

	Anaemia
		Drug-induced immune haemolytic anaemia occurs when certain drugs interact with the red blood cell membrane, causing the cell to become antigenic (the body identifies the cell as tissue not belonging to the body).
		Haemolytic anaemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to compensate for premature destruction of red blood cells by increasing their production.
		Haemolytic anaemia due to G-6-PD deficiency is a hereditary, sex-linked, enzyme defect that results in the breakdown of red blood cells when the person is exposed to the stress of infection or certain drugs.

	Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hemolytic anemia is anemia due to hemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the body (extravascular).
		Signs of anemia are generally present (fatigue, later heart failure).
		Megaloblastic anemia due to deficiency in vitamin B12 or folic acid.

	Turkish Journal of Haematology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Haemolytic anaemia is traditionally categorized by cause as either congenital or acquired[1].
		The term “acquired haemolytic anaemia” was first coined in the early 1900’s and its now commonly used to describe haemolytic anaemia triggered by extrinsic factors such as immune disorders, drugs, infections, mechanical trauma to red cells, exposure to toxins and other miscellaneous causes[1].
		Although drug induced immune haemolytic anaemia is a well-known complication of drug therapy (frequently induced by methyldopa, penicillin, cephalosporin, diclophenac, procainamid), it is often misdiagnosed due to an inconclusive patient history and/or serological work-up[8].

		Haemolytic anaemia is a disorder characterised by the reduction of the erythrocytes caused by accelerated premature destruction.
		Hemolytic anemia can be induced and maintained during the chronic exposure to a hemolytic substance, whereas on the same time the organism demands to compensate the hemolysis by increasing erythrocyte production resulting in full compensation (subclinical anemia) or insufficient compensation (clinical anemia).
		Haemolytic anemia causes several secondary effects which are adaptive to the reduced oxygen supply or caused by the catabolism of haemoglobin.

		Acquired Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells.

		A reduction in the number of red blood cells per cu mm, the amount of hemoglobin in 100 ml of blood, and the volume of packed red blood cells per 100 ml of blood.
		Clinically, anemia represents a reduction in the oxygen-transporting capacity of a designated volume of blood, resulting from an imbalance between blood loss (through hemorrhage or hemolysis) and blood production.
		Signs and symptoms of anemia may include pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, shortness of breath, palpitations of the heart, soft systolic murmurs, lethargy, and fatigability.

		Another important feature of ribavirin is that it accumulates in erythrocytes, and haemolytic anemia is one of the dose limiting features.
		As well, the anemia causes difficult to tolerate toxicities and side effects often leading to drug discontinuation by patients.
		However, levovirin does not undergo phosphorylation and hence there are no monophosphate and triphosphate metabolites; therefore, the haemolytic anemia side effect as well as the weak direct antiviral effect is also absent.
