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.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is characterized by the widespread activation of coagulation, which results in the intravascular formation of fibrin and ultimately thrombotic occlusion of small and midsize vessels.

The affinity glycated hemoglobin in a family with hereditary spherocytosis and in other non-hemoglobinopathic hemolytic anemias.
Krauss JS, Hahn DA, Harper D, Shell S, Baisden CR.
Ann Clin Lab Sci. 1987;17(5):331-8.
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.
