A member asked:
Why does malaria cause hemoglobinuria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemoglobinuria: "Haemoglobinuria is one of the manifestations of severe malaria and results from severe intravascular haemolysis. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been implicated in its aetiology. Haemoglobinuria may be associated with severe anaemia and, less frequently, acute renal failure."
