Pathophysiology of Anemia

Pathophysiology of Anemia Anemia may reflect the presence of marrow failure or loss of red blood cells or both. Marrow failure (reduced erotropoesis) can occur due to nutritional deficiencies, toxic exposure, tumor invasion, but mostly due to unknown causes. Red blood cells can be lost through hemorrhage or hemolysis (destruction) that can be caused by a defect of red blood cells that do not correspond with the resistance of normal red blood cells. Red blood cell lysis (dissolution) occurs mainly in phagocytic cells (reticuloendothelial) in the liver and spleen. This process produces bilirubin which will enter the bloodstream. The increase in red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) is reflected by an increase in plasma bilirubin. If the destruction of red blood cells in circulation as the hemoglobin in hemolytic disorders will emerge through the plasma (hemoglobinemia). If the plasma concentration exceeds the capacity of plasma haptoglobin (hemoglobin binding protein-free) to tie it al
