The major causes of regenerative anaemia are '''haemolysis''' and '''[[Haemorrhage - Pathology|haemorrhage]]'''.
The major causes of regenerative anaemia are '''[[Haemorrhage - Pathology|haemorrhage]]''' and '''haemolysis'''.
===Haemorrhage===
Haemorrhage may occur from any site and it may be external (often due to trauma) or internal. Any form of spontaneous haemorrhage with no apparent cause may suggest the presence of an underlying coagulopathy. The most common haemorrhagic presentations are:
Haemorrhage may occur from any site and it may be external (often due to trauma) or internal. Any form of spontaneous haemorrhage with no apparent cause may suggest the presence of an underlying coagulopathy. The most common haemorrhagic presentations are:
*'''Epistaxis''' due to disruption or erosion of blood vessels of the nasal cavity by trauma, neoplasia, fungal infection or a foreign body.
*'''Epistaxis''' due to disruption or erosion of blood vessels of the nasal cavity by trauma, neoplasia, fungal infection or a foreign body.
*'''[[Haemoabdomen]]''', '''haemothorax''' and '''haemopericardium''' are all forms of [[Haemorrhagic Effusion|haemorrhagic effusion]] that occur in body cavities.
*'''[[Haemoabdomen]]''', '''haemothorax''' and '''haemopericardium''' are all forms of [[Haemorrhagic Effusion|haemorrhagic effusion]] that occur in body cavities.
===Haemolysis===
Haemolysis may occur in the following processes:
Haemolysis may occur in the following processes:
*'''Immune-mediated disease''' including [[Immune Mediated Haemolytic Anaemia]] and [[Neonatal Isoerythrolysis]].
