A hemolytic disease is a disorder where there is rapid destruction of red blood cells. The most common causes are sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. These conditions produce red blood cells that do not live for a longer period. The symptoms are abnormal paleness of skin, fever, weakness, dark-colored urine, and unable to do physical activity. Taking corticosteroid medicines and blood transfusions helps a lot.
Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Due to Rh Incompatibility
When an Rh-negative mother gives birth to an Rh-positive child, a broad range of symptoms occur in the child. If left untreated may lead to neonatal death.
