3 components of hemoglobin molecule
- Iron
- Globin protein chains
- Protoporphyrin
90% of tissue iron (Fe3+) is STORED in these 2 forms
- Ferritin (serum, tissue)
- Hemosiderin (marrow, other tissue sites)
Globin proteins that transports iron (in serum)
Transferrin
Hemoglobin components
- 2 alpha + 2 beta (HgbA) or 2 gamma (Hgb F) globin protein chains
- 4 heme groups w/protoporphyrin ring and ferrous iron
- 4 oxygen molecules
Most common cause of hypochromic anemia (and microcytic)
Iron deficiency
Heme synthesis disorders present with these cells
Sideroblasts (sideroblastic anemia)
Disorders of Globin protein chain synthesis
A-thalassemia
B-thalassemia
Alpha or beta chain production disorder - causes excess of complimentary chain
Major integral protein of rbc membrane - 20%
Glycophorin
Most abundant peripheral protein of rbc membrane cytoskeleton
Spectrin (25-30%) of total membrane; 75% of peripheral protein
RBC membrane is permeable to 2 cations
Na+ and K+
25% of rbc membrane is comprised of this lipid
Cholesterol
What percentage of total body iron is bound to heme
66% (2/3)
Other (1/3) 33% stored in bone marrow
Normal adult hemoglobin contains these types and percentages of hemoglobin
Hgb A = 95-97%
Hgb A2 = 2-3%
Hgb F = 1-2%
O2 dissociation LEFT shift
Decreased O2 delivery to tissues
O2 dissociation RIGHT shift
Increased oxygen delivery to tissue
3 types of abnormal hemoglobin (unable to transport oxygen
Carboxyhemoglobin
Methemoglobin
Sulfhemoglobin
Senescence/removal of red cells by these 2 pathways and percentages
- Extravascular - 90% (RES)
- Intravascular - 5-10% (blood vessels)
