Detailed explanation-1: -Intravascular hemolysis is most commonly caused by antibodies that are capable of activating the complement system, so as a result, the antibodies are most often IgM antibodies that react at body temperatures rather than IgG.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a patient receives a blood type that is incompatible, antibodies that the patient already has in his or her blood will attack the donor red blood cells and destroy them.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hemolytic transfusion reaction is a serious complication that can occur after a blood transfusion. The reaction occurs when the red blood cells that were given during the transfusion are destroyed by the person’s immune system. When red blood cells are destroyed, the process is called hemolysis.
