Abstract

The most frequent causes of hemolytic anemias are immune or infectious diseases, drug induced hemolysis, thrombotic microangiopathies, hereditary spherocytosis, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or pyruvate kinase deficiencies, thalassemia's and sickle cell disease. Sometimes no cause is found because a rarer etiology is involved. The goal of this review is to remember some unfrequent constitutional or acquired causes and to point out difficulties to avoid wrong interpretations of analysis results.

Keywords: etiology; hemolytic anemia; microangiopathy; review.
