Hemolytic anemiacaused by chemicals and toxins is a lack of enough red blood cells due to the destruction of red blood cells triggered by exposure to certain chemicals or toxins.
Alternative NamesAnemia - hemolytic - caused by chemicals or toxins
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsPossible substances that can cause hemolytic anemia include:
- Anti-malaria drugs (quinine compounds)
- Arsenic
- Dapsone
- Intravenouswater infusion (not half-normal saline or normal saline)
- Metals (chromium/chromates, platinum salts, nickel compounds, copper, lead, cis-platinum)
- Nitrites
- Nitrofurantoin
- Phenazopyridine (Pyridium)
- Rho immune globulin (WinRho)
- Ribavirin
- Snake bites(some snake venom contains hemolytic toxins)
- Sulfonamides
- Sulfones

What has or have a hemolytic function?
Hemolytic function refers to the process of breaking down red blood cells (RBCs) and can be carried out by various factors. Certain diseases, such as hemolytic anemia, involve the destruction of RBCs by the immune system or other mechanisms. Additionally, certain pathogens, like some bacteria and viruses, can produce toxins that induce hemolysis. Enzymes like hemolysins, found in certain organisms, also contribute to this function by lysing red blood cells.

What causes hemolysis?
Hemolysis can be caused by various factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, certain medications, genetic conditions such as sickle cell disease, and exposure to certain chemicals or toxins. Hemolysis occurs when red blood cells rupture and release their contents into the bloodstream, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and anemia.

Are toxins multicellular?
Toxins are poisonous chemicals, which may or may not be produced as the secretion of cells (and if they are, the cells may or may not be part of a multicellular organism).
Is anemia a genetic disorder?
Anemia is a broad disorder that literally translates as 'no blood'. In medical practice, anemia is a condition in which there are insufficient normal red blood cells to provide oxygen to the body tissues. Anemia can be caused by a wide variety of things: large volume blood loss, infection, cancer and toxins can all result in various types of anemia. There are also genetic causes of anemia. Two commonly discussed genetic anemias are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia-related anemia. Sickle cell anemia developed in Africa, where malaria parasites are common. A heterozygous individual has about 15% abnormal red blood cells that are crescent-shaped and don't transport oxygen well. Hemophilia was traced to a point mutation in the English royal line in the Middle Ages, which then spread throughout Europe via marriage among the royal houses. Hemophilia actually results in blood that does not clot properly, which can result in anemia due to chronic blood loss through hemorrhages.
