Hemolytic anemia (HEE-moh-lit-ick uh-NEE-me-uh) is a rare form of anemia  in which [[red blood cell]]s are destroyed and removed from the bloodstream before their usual lifespan is up. Healthy red blood cells usually live about 120 days (4 months) in the bloodstream before the body removes them. In hemolytic anemia, the body breaks down and removes red blood cells faster than it can replace them. The breakdown of red blood cells is called [[hemolysis]] (he-MOL-i-sis).
