   What are the symptoms of hereditary spherocytosis?

   • The most common problem in hereditary spherocytosis is anemia. Large-scale destruction of RBCs causes visible jaundice. This happens because the large amount of hemoglobin released gets converted to bilirubin. Bilirubin gives a yellow tinge to the whites of the eyes. You also may notice that your skin, tongue, and nails look pale.
