Hemolytic anaemia is seen most commonly due to: (A) Pyruvate kinase, (B) Phospho fructokinase I, (C) Phospho fructokinase II, (D) Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Answer is A. Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited disorder that affects red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body&;s tissues. People with this disorder have a condition known as chronic hemolytic anemia, in which red blood cells are broken down (undergo hemolysis) prematurely, resulting in a shoage of red blood cells (<a href=" Specifically,&nbsp;pyruvate kinase deficiency&nbsp;is a common cause of a type of inherited hemolytic anemia called hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. In hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia, the red blood cells do not assume a spherical shape as they do in some other forms of hemolytic anemia.</p>
