Aaron Goodman shared on X:

“A godlike roadmap to diagnosing all causes of hemolytic anemia!

Simplified:

Prove hemolysis = increased reticulocytes (RPI), i. bili, LDH, decreased haptoglobins.

Check direct Coombs!

Positive = immune mediated (warm vs cold vs post transfusion or drug) Negative use chart below!”
