Haemolytic anaemia arises because we are destroying our blood cells. This may be because the blood cells have abnormal haemoglobin molecules, as occurs, for example, in sickle cell disease, or an abnormal cell membrane, such as in hereditary spherocytosis, where the membrane is fragile. It can also arise as a result of treatment with certain medicines.
