What is the blood disease associated with short life span of rbcs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemolysis: All the hemolytic anemias -- from spherocytosis to the hemoglobinopathies to malaria to pavement-pounding in marathonners -- shorted RBC life span. Thalassemias and megaloblastic anemias have many of the red cell precursors die before release.
