Hereditary spherocytosis is a genetic disease, transmitted as an autosomal dominant, that affects about 1 5000 North Americans. It is characterized by the presence of spherocytes (spherical red blood cells, with a low sur-face-to-volume ratio) in the peripheral blood, by a hemolytic anemia, and by splenomegaly. The spherocytes are not as deformable as are normal red blood cells, and they are subject to destruction in the spleen, thus greatly shortening their Ufe in the circulation. Hereditary spherocytosis is curable by splenectomy because the spherocytes can persist in the circulation if the spleen is absent. [Pg.617]

One cause of hereditary spherocytosis (Figure 52-5) is a deficiency in the amount of spectrin or abnormalities of its structure, so that it no longer tightly binds the other proteins with which it normally interacts. This weakens the membrane and leads to the spherocytic shape. Abnormalities of ankyrin and of bands 3 and 4.1 are involved in other cases. [Pg.617]

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a genetic disorder that is similar to hereditary spherocytosis except that affected red blood cells assume an elliptic, disk-hke shape, recognizable by microscopy. It is also due to abnormalities in spectrin some cases reflect abnormahties of band 4.1 or of glycophorin C. [Pg.617]

Causes within the membrane include abnormahties of proteins. The most important conditions are hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary eUiptocytosis, principally caused by abnormalities in the amount or structure of spectrin (see above). [Pg.619]

Deficiency of spectrin results in hereditary spherocytosis, another important cause of hemolytic anemia. [Pg.624]

Hemolytic anemia results from decreased RBC survival time due to destruction in the spleen or circulation. The most common etiologies are RBC membrane defects (e.g., hereditary spherocytosis), altered Hb solubility or stability (e.g., sickle cell anemia [see Chap. 34] and thalassemias), and changes in intracellular metabolism (e.g., glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency). Some drugs cause direct oxidative damage to RBCs (see Appendix 3). [Pg.377]

Hematological Disorders. Blood related diseases include hereditary spherocytosis, pyruvate kinase deficiency, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and hemoglobinopathies, such as thalassemias. [Pg.716]

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) comprises a group of inherited hemolytic anemias characterized by chronic hemolysis with a broad spectrum of severity (Hassoun et al, 1997). The principal cellular defect is the loss of erythrocyte surface area relative to the intracellular volume, although increased osmotic frailty is also a factor. A distinctive spherical red blood cell (RBC) morphology is observed in sufferers of HS and splenic destruction of these abnormal erythrocytes is the primary cause of the hemolysis experienced (Delaunay, 1995 Palek and Jarolim, 1993). [Pg.229]
