Anemia from enzyme disorder

If you have anemia, your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body. The most common cause of anemia is not having enough iron. Your body needs iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives the red color to blood. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Anemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, and high rates of red blood cell destruction. Conditions that may lead to anemia include Heavy periods Pregnancy Ulcers Colon polyps or colon cancer Inherited disorders A diet that does not have enough iron, folic acid or vitamin B12 Blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, or cancer Aplastic anemia, a condition that can be inherited or acquired G6PD deficiency, a metabolic disorder Anemia can make you feel tired, cold, dizzy, and irritable. You may be short of breath or have a headache. Your doctor will diagnose anemia with a physical exam and blood tests. Treatment depends on the kind of anemia you have.

Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a rare inherited disease that causes a lifelong condition called hemolytic anemia, a certain type of anemia where the body destroys red blood cells, as well as other serious complications.

Hemolytic Anemia Due to Enzyme Deficiencies
Hemolytic anemias may be due to factors external to the red blood cell (e.g., circulating autoantibodies to RBCs in Immune mediated hemolysis) or factors intrinsic to the red blood cell (e.g., RBC membrane defects or enzyme defects).
