22
Q

Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO) affect what protein

A

23
Q

Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis affects what protein

24
Q

What test is used in hereditary spherocytosis

A

Coombs test

25
Coombs test in HS IS
Negative
26
Management of HS
Folic acid supplements Transfusions Erythropoeitin Splenectomy
27
Hereditary spherocytosis on adult and older children presents with
Haemolytic anaemia Splenomegaly Gall stones
28
Patients with severe hereditary spherocytosis may undergo
Splenectomy
29
What protein is commonly affected in hereditary elliptocytosis
Spectrin ( alpha 65%and beta30%)
30
Hereditary spherocytosis majorly affects the membrane by
Affecting the vertical protein that tie the skeleton to the lipid bilayer
31
HS is suspected in an individual in what test
When Coombs test is negative( so they are not immune to HS)
32
The most abundant peripheral protein in the rbc is
Spectrin
33
What peripheral protein anchors the lipid bilayer of rbc to the membrane Skelton
Ankyrin
34
May link the cytoskeleton to the membrane by its association to glycophorin is the function of
Protein 4.1
35
RBC glycoprotein is usually
Glycophorin
36
Elliptocytosis defect in rbc are more permeable to what ion
Sodium NA 2+
37
A defect in only alpha Spectrin in rbc
Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis
