Hereditary spherocytosis

Hereditary spherocytosis is a congenital hemolytic anemia with a wide clinical spectrum (from symptom-free carriers to severe hemolysis) characterized by anemia, variable jaundice, splenomegaly and cholelithiasis.

Hemolytic anemia

A type of anemia caused by premature destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis).

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a genetic, frequently familial hemolytic blood disease that presents with varying degrees of hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, and jaundice.The disease arises as a result of defects in any of a number of proteins responsible for maintaining the shape and flexibility of the red blood cell, resulting in an osmotically fragile and characteristically spherical red blood cell.

Therefore, the affinity GHb and HbF was determined in four members of an HS family and in nine other cases of non-hemoglobinopathic hemolytic anemia, including three autoimmune hemolytic anemias, four red cell fragmentation syndromes (two "Waring blender" syndromes, one thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in association with tumor, and one case of disseminated intravascular coagulation), and two red cell membrane defects: paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and another case of hereditary spherocytosis.

While this procedure initially improved the peripheral blood values in five patients--two patients with hereditary spherocytosis, one patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, one patient with pyruvate-kinase hemolytic anemia and one patient with posthepatitic cirrhosis and splenomegaly--the hematologic derangement gradually recurred in four, necessitating eventual splenectomy in two.
