Drug-Induced Anemia and Other Red Cell Disorders: A Guide in the Age of Polypharmacy

Abstract: Several medications have been linked to red blood cell (RBC) disorders. The frequency of these side effects varies, depending on the condition, but they can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The problem is likely to exacerbate in aging populations with frequent comorbidities, proportional to the growing number of medications used. Notable drug-related RBC disorders include hemolytic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, polycythemia, methemoglobinemia, anemia of irritation/i… Show more

“…Red blood cells (RBC) are the most abundant cell type in the blood and play an essential role in oxygen transfer. Several natural plant extracts and compounds of plants and/fungi, such as saponins, phenylhydrazine, penicillin, and cephalosporin induce haemolysis and result in erythrokatalysis [51][52][53][54]. Haemolysis of the RBC results in an exposure of intracellular phosphatidylserine, which accelerates blood coagulation and hyper-coagulable states [55].…”
