| | Most often it is idiopathic; however, up to 25 percent of affected patients have an underlying disease that affects the immune system such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). | | | Within 24 h of the burns, acute hemolytic anemia can develop with gross hemoglobinuria and spherocytes and schistocytes on the peripheral blood smear. | | | Schistocytes, reflective of MAHA, are often found on the peripheral smear of patients with DIC, but their absence does not rule out DIC. |

| | Intravascular hemolysis occurs in hemolytic anemia due to prosthetic cardiac valves, G-6-PD deficiency, TTP, DIC, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). | | | For example, sickle cell anemia is associated with a painful occlusive crisis. | | | A low mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) are consistent with a microcytic hypochromic anemia, which may occur in chronic intravascular hemolysis, eg, PNH. |
