of denatured haemoglobin, electrons from the haemoglobin are transferred to an oxygen
molecule, which creates a reactive oxygen species that can cause severe cell damage
leading to premature cell lysis, subsequently leading to anaemia. This disease may
present with pallor, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Confirmation is by identification
of Heinz bodies in a blood sample.;
