Cause Of Dark Urine #9: Hemolytic Anemia
Our red blood cells live for around 120 days. At the end of their life cycle, they are processed by the liver. Blood cells that are somehow damaged or faulty are also processed in this way. The body is constantly supplied with fresh blood cells, keeping the blood flow healthy and well.
Hemolytic anemia is a condition where the body destroys too many blood cells. This will mean that the blood is not able to carry sufficient oxygen, although the condition can be treated. Treatment often involves making changes to your lifestyle, while surgery may also be necessary in some cases.
