   May 19, 2022 · 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 ...

   Summary. Hereditary spherocytosis is a condition characterized by hemolytic anemia (when red blood cells are destroyed earlier than normal). Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include pale skin, fatigue, anemia, jaundice, gallstones, and/or enlargement of the spleen. Other symptoms of hemolytic anemia may include feeling that your ...

   Hereditary spherocytosis is a condition that affects red blood cells. People with this condition typically experience a shortage of red blood cells ( anemia ), yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice), and an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly). Most newborns with hereditary spherocytosis have severe anemia, although it improves after the first ...

   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.

   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. This abnormal shape interferes with the cells' ability to flex during blood circulation ...
