Hemolysis

Hi Birgitta-A,

Some years back, before the MDS dx, my mother had several tests for hemolytic anemia, i am not sure what those tests were but she tested negative for that. Can hemolysis of blood cells happen even then?

I still do not understand if her marrow produces too less RBC, or if they are not formed properly or they break prematurely.

Thanks for always helping us understand MDS.
