Differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia

Differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia includes acute hemorrhagic anemia, nutritional anemia, hemorrhage in tissues or body cavities, anemia with ineffective hematopoiesis of the bone marrow, familial non-hemolytic jaundice, and metastatic carcinoma of the bone marrow. 1. Acute hemorrhagic anemia: bleeding foci are not clear and reticulocytes are increased. 2. Nutritional anemia: iron supplementation, vitamin B, or folic acid treatment is effective in the early stage, when hemoglobin has not been restored but reticulocytes are increased. 3. Tissue or intracorporeal hemorrhage: this can lead to increased unconjugated bilirubin. 4. Anemia with ineffective hematopoiesis of the bone marrow: the presence of juvenile red blood cells in the peripheral blood and a significant proliferation of juvenile red blood cells in the bone marrow. 5. Familial non-hemolytic jaundice: there is a prolonged or intermittent increase in unconjugated bilirubin. 6. Metastatic carcinoma of the bone marrow: anemia of young granulocytes and erythrocytes in the peripheral blood.
