Gaucher vs Sickle cell

A

Jew (Israel/America) with hepatosplenomegaly, osteopenia, pancytopenia: Gauchers

Sickle cell: Blacks
<5 year old = sequestration (blood pooling) causing splenomegaly, thus hypotension/cardiovascular collapse
> 5 year old = Splenic infarcts with autosplenectomy thus small calcified spleen

Systemic:
Hepatomegaly from iron deposition
Gallstones from calcium deposition
Anaemia, bone infarcts, extramedullary haematopoiesis
Cardiomegaly and sickle chest (consolidations)

(“Gaucher = Mainly organs, Thal = Mainly bones, Sickle cell = everything”)

75
Q

A

Sickle cell: Blacks
<5 year old = sequestration (blood pooling) causing splenomegaly, thus hypotension/cardiovascular collapse

Systemic:
Hepatomegaly from iron deposition
Gallstones from calcium deposition
Anaemia, bone infarcts, extramedullary haematopoiesis
Cardiomegaly and sickle chest (consolidations)

Asian with marrow hyperplasia, bone infarcts, cardiomegaly: Thalassaemia

(“Gaucher = Mainly organs, Thal = Mainly bones, Sickle cell = everything”)

76
