ROLE OF FLAVONOIDS IN THE TREATMENT OF HEMOLYTIC ANAEMIA-A REVIEW
Shami Chaddha* and Aman Mittal
ABSTRACT
Hemolytic anaemia is caused by premature destruction of erythrocytes either in blood vessels (intravascular) or elsewhere in the body (extravasular). Hemolysis is associated with oxidative stress within the RBCs. A number of antioxidants have been reported to be effective in the treatment of hemolytic anaemia. Flavonoids are phenolic compounds with well known anti-oxidant activity. This review summarizes the research carried out on the various plants containing flavonoids and showing beneficial effects against Phenylhydrazine induced Anaemia.
Keywords: Hemolytic Anaemia; Oxidative Stress; Antioxidants; Flavonoids; Phenylhydrazine.
