Intravascular haemolysis
Red blood cell lysis occurs in the circulation as a result of activation of the complement system cascade.
Extravascular haemolysis
Red Blood Cells that are coated with antibodies are specifically recognised in the reticuloendothelial system and destroyed by macrophages.
Subtypes
- Idiopathic
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Evans' syndrome (antiplatelet antibodies and haemolytic antibodies)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
