Hemolysis is the process by which the body destroys old or damaged red blood cells. In patients with hemolytic anemia, this process takes place too frequently, causing a low red blood cell count. Patients could experience heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, and fatigue. If left untreated, patients could develop severe symptoms such as chills, fever, abdominal pain, and shock. They might also experience complications, including an irregular heartbeat or enlargement of the heart.

Hemolytic anemia can be detected with blood tests, and lifestyle changes and medications could be sufficient for treatment. Patients with serious cases of hemolytic anemia may need blood transfusions as well. In individuals with vitamin E deficiency, supplementation may help reverse symptoms of hemolytic anemia, and patients will be closely monitored with regular blood tests throughout their entire treatment period.
