<P> Hemolytic anemia or haemolytic anaemia is a form of anemia due to hemolysis , the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells ( RBCs ) , either in the blood vessels ( intravascular hemolysis ) or elsewhere in the human body ( extravascular , but usually in the spleen ) . It has numerous possible consequences , ranging from relatively harmless to life - threatening . The general classification of hemolytic anemia is either inherited or acquired . Treatment depends on the cause and nature of the breakdown . </P>
