Information on Hemolytic anemia, acute Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Screening and Imaging Acute hemolytic anemia after occupational arsine exposure has been described in the smelting, refining, and chemical industries. In the reported cases, arsine was formed as a by-product of a chemical reaction between a base metal, an arsenic impurity, and an acid. After arsine exposure, symptoms may be delayed for several hours. Dark red urine (hemoglobinuria) is the characteristic clinical finding. The disease course may be complicated by acute renal failure. [ACGIH] [LaDou, p. 208-9] [EPA Pesticides, p. 132] In some cases, methemoglobin-forming compounds cause denaturation of hemoglobin (Heinz bodies) followed by hemolytic anemia. It is not known why some individuals have methemoglobinemia and others experience hemolytic anemia after exposure to the same oxidants. [Sullivan, p. 376]
