   Hereditary spherocytosis is an inherited blood disorder that causes hemolytic anemia. This anemia happens when your red blood cells break down faster than normal. In hereditary spherocytosis, your red blood cells lose their characteristic disk-like shape, becoming round, or spherical cells (spherocytes), that can’t function like normal red ...

   Jul 4, 2023 · Hereditary spherocytosis, a type of congenital hemolytic anemia, is the most prevalent cause of hemolytic anemia due to an abnormal red cell membrane. These atypical erythrocytes are unable to maintain their normal biconcave shape due to genetic mutations in the membrane/cytoskeletal proteins that play a role in structural morphologic stability.

   Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a congenital hemolytic disorder wherein a genetic mutation coding for a structural membrane protein phenotype causes the red blood cells to be sphere-shaped (spherocytosis), rather than the normal biconcave disk shape.

   Aug 5, 2019 · Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited disease that affects the red blood cells. Characteristic symptoms of HS are the destruction of red blood cells in the spleen and their removal from the blood stream (hemolytic anemia), a yellow tone to the skin (jaundice), and an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly).

   Jan 1, 2024 · Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited condition of red blood cells. The disease can be mild and go unrecognised in some people. In others there may be severe anaemia requiring regular blood transfusions. Some people with hereditary spherocytosis may be offered surgery to remove their spleen.

   What are the features of hereditary spherocytosis?

   • The features of hereditary spherocytosis are usually: Anaemia. Yellowing of your skin and of the whites of your eyes ( jaundice ). A large spleen. These features can happen at any time of life. Anaemia means that you have fewer red blood cells than normal, or you have less haemoglobin than normal in each red blood cell.

   What is the difference between spherocytosis and HS?

   • In HS there is a defect in the outer layer of the red blood cell. This means the cell is not the usual shape. Spherocytosis means more sphere-shaped and this also makes it more fragile than usual. How common is hereditary spherocytosis?

   How does hereditary spherocytosis affect red blood cells?

   • In hereditary spherocytosis, genetic mutations affect the red cell membrane proteins, breaking the connection between the cytoskeleton and the outer layer. The broken connection means the cytoskeleton can’t support the outer layer. As a result, red blood cells change from flexible disks to inflexible spherocytes.
