Hemolytic anaemia is seen most commonly due to

A
Pyruvate kinase
B
Phospho fructokinase I
C
Phospho fructokinase II
D
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
High-Yield Explanation
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>
