Hemolytic anemia due to erythrocyte adenosine deaminase overproduction

low confidence

Clinical definition (Orphanet)

Hemolytic anemia due to erythrocyte adenosine deaminase overproduction is a rare, genetic, hematologic disease characterized by mild, chronic hemolytic anemia (due to highly elevated adenosine deaminase activity in red blood cells resulting in their premature destruction), elevated reticulocyte count, and mild hyperbilirubinemia. Other cells and tissues are not affected.

trials for this specific condition

No interventional trial testing a treatment matched this specific condition name on ClinicalTrials.gov (observational studies and pan-disease registries are listed separately when present). 2,114 trials are registered for anemia, the broader category — shown separately because they may or may not enrol this specific subtype.

trials for anemia, the broader category this belongs to

Trials registered for a broader category may or may not enrol people with this specific subtype — eligibility criteria vary, and the trial record often doesn't say. Worth raising with a clinician. How we count trials.

No matched interventional trials. This is true for 59.2% of diseases in the trials denominator (151 of 255). Here are the researchers publishing on it.

Last verified 2026-07-26

This ORPHAcode is not on our curated NPRD list (direct or Mondo-parent match). That does not decide clinical eligibility; families in India should ask a notified Centre of Excellence about current coverage.

Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change. This is not official government guidance.

How we counted this

Europe PMC query (preferred label + any corrected label + Orphanet and Mondo exact synonyms, stoplisted; unioned with resolved MeSH labels when available). UMLS / OMIM / NCIT cross-references are stored below but are not added to the query string.

"Hemolytic anemia due to erythrocyte adenosine deaminase overproduction" OR "adenosine deaminase, elevated, hemolytic anaemia due to" OR "adenosine deaminase, elevated, hemolytic anemia due to" OR "anemia, congenital, nonspherocytic hemolytic, 9"

Confidence reasoning

  • Preferred label is multi-word and distinctive
  • No synonyms dropped by stoplist
  • No label/synonym collisions with other diseases in this corpus
  • Zero publications but parent term congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia has 133 — literature likely indexed under a broader name
