King Harald V of Norway's health condition has worsened and is now considered "extremely serious." The 89-year-old monarch has been hospitalized since August 17 at the National Hospital of Oslo due to complications related to hemolytic anemia, an autoimmune disease that causes abnormally rapid destruction of red blood cells through autoantibodies. Rede D'Or explains that there are three types: warm hemolytic anemia (autoantibodies react more strongly at 37°C), cold hemolytic anemia (destruction occurs between 4°C and 18°C), and mixed hemolytic anemia (combination of the two).
