I always thought the anemia in beta thalessemia was more due to ineffective erythropoeisis rather than hemolysis, but today I encountered a Uworld question that called it "a severe hemolytic anemia." First Aid doesn't even include thalessemia in the "hemolytic anemias," but Goljan has one sentence stating that there is extravascular hemolysis along with ineffective erythropoesis. Is this what Uworld was referring to?
