Haemolytic anemia is a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed prematurely. The most common cause of this condition is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the red blood cells. The destruction of red blood cells leads to anemia, a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen to the body's tissues.
What is the Hemoglobin Level for Haemolytic Anemia?
The hemoglobin level is one of the primary indicators of the severity of haemolytic anemia. The hemoglobin level is typically measured using a blood test. The normal range for hemoglobin levels is 12-18 g/dL for adults and 11-14 g/dL for children. A hemoglobin level below 10 g/dL is considered to be a sign of severe anemia. In cases of haemolytic anemia, the hemoglobin level may be even lower than this, sometimes as low as 6 g/dL or even lower. Treatment for haemolytic anemia usually involves the use of medications to suppress the immune system and prevent it from attacking the red blood cells, and can also involve the use of blood transfusions to replace the destroyed red blood cells.
