AB The  hemolytic  anemias  are  a  group  of  disorders  in  which  red  blood  cell  survival  is  reduced,  either  episodically  or  continuously.  The  bone  marrow  has  the  ability  to  increase  erythroid  production  up  to  eightfold  in  response  to  reduced  red  cell  survival,  so  anemia  will  be  present  only  when  the  ability  of  the  bone  marrow  to  compensate  is  outstripped.  This  will  occur  when  red  cell  survival  is  extremely  short  or  when  the  ability  of  the  bone  marrow  to  compensate  is  impaired.
