Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia is caused by damage to the endothelial lining of the small vessels, which results in deposits of fibrin within the vessels. This can occur in conditions such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Exercise-induced hemoglobinuria, the type associated with infectious agents, and the type associated with animal venoms are not characterized by deposits of fibrin within the vessels.
