Symptom 6. Hemolytic Anemia: Dark Urine
Advertisements

Dark urine is another symptom that may be associated with hemolytic anemia. As red blood cells are destroyed, the body releases a byproduct called hemoglobin, which is then broken down into bilirubin and other substances. These substances can cause urine to appear dark, ranging from dark yellow to amber or even dark brown in color.

It’s important to monitor any changes in urine color and report them to a healthcare professional, as dark urine can be a sign of an underlying health issue, including hemolytic anemia. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and prevent complications. (3)
