anemia 4 Flashcards
hemolytic disruption of erythrocytes involves alterations in erythrocytic membrane, these alterations can divided into
inherited hemolytic disorder - intrinsic hemolytic anemia
acquired hemolytic disorder - extrinsic hemolytic anemia
refer to the site of destruction of the red blood cell, within the circulating blood (blood stream) or outside it (liver or spleen).
intravascular and extravascular
Blood smear examination in hemolytic anemia will typically reveal the presence of many
spherocytic erythrocyte
hallmark abnormality in hemolytic enemie
spherocytic erythrocyte
usually increased unless hematopoiesis is suppressed
reticulocyte count
will exhibit increased fragility as a result of the presence of spherocytes.
osmotic fragility test
reflect increased erythrocyte destruction
are
unconjugated/indirect bilirubin)
, an indicator of intravascular and extravascular hemalysis, is decreased in the presence of erythrocyte destruction
Serum haptoglabin
may affect the basic membrane structure, the erythrocytic enzymes, or the hemoolobin molecules within the red cell.
Inherited hemalytic disorders
STRUCTURAL MEMBRANE DEFECTS
acanthocytosis
H spherocytosis
H elliptocytosis
H stomatocytosis
H xerocytosis
RHnull disease
ERYTHROCYTIC ENZYME DEFECTS
G6PD deficiency
Glutathione Reductase
Hexokinase pyruvate kinase
DEFECTS OF THE HEMOGLOBIN MOLECULE
Hb C disorder
Hb S-C disorder
Hb S-S disorder (sickle cell anemis)
o Thalassemia
Very heterogeneous form of hemolytic anemia transmitted in the majority of cases as an autosomal dominant trait
hereditary spherocytosis
results from the lass of erythrocytic membrane surface, as vesicles, due to membrane protein defects
H spherocytosis
protein that transport hgb in liver
haptoglobin
is extravascular. accurring in the spleen
hemolysis
the red blood cell has a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio, which changes the shape of the cell from
discoid to spherocyte
demonstrate an abnormal permeability to sodium ion (Na+), causing an influx of sodum at
ID times the normal rate
spherocytic cells
represents
a
comparatively coMmon
heterogeneous group of inborn disorders characterized by an overabundance of red bland cells and. in some individuals, by a hemolytic process
H elliptocytosis
