Inherited hemolytic anemia is one of the most commonly seen anemias encountered in the pediatric age, especially in Türkiye, where consanguineous marriages are common. Inherited hemolytic anemias mainly include hemoglobinopathies, erythrocyte membrane defects, and enzyme defects. Hemolytic anemias have a wide etiology and clinical spectrum with acquired and hereditary causes in childhood. Always a careful self and family history review and synthesis of physical examination and laboratory findings are vital for differential diagnosis. Therefore, physicians should be competent in prevention methods and early diagnosis markers.
