Слайд 3Hemolytic Anemia
Definition:
Those anemias which result from an increase in RBC
destruction
Classification:
Congenital / Hereditary
Acquired
Слайд 8Features of HEMOLYSIS
Bilirubin
LDH
Reticulocytes, n-RBC
Haptoglobulins
+ve Urinary hemosiderin, Urobilinogen
Blood Film
Spherocytes
No spherocytes Fragmentation
DCT +ve
DCT –ve
AI Hemolysis H. Sherocytosis Malaria,
Clostidium
Hereditery enzymopathies Microangiopathic, Traumatic
Слайд 10Red Cell Membrane Defects
1.Hereditary Spherocytosis
Usually inherited as AD disorder
Defect: Deficiency
of Beta Spectrin or Ankyrin Loss of membrane in
Spleen & RES becomes more spherical Destruction in Spleen
Слайд 11C/F:
Asymptomatic
Fluctuating hemolysis
Splenomegaly
Pigmented gall stones- 50%
Clinical course may be complicated
with Crisis:
Hemolytic Crisis: associated with infection
Aplastic crisis: associated with Parvovirus
infection
Inv:
Test will confirm Hemolysis
P Smear: Spherocytes
Osmotic Fragility: Increased
Osmotic Fragility
Слайд 122.Hereditary Elliptocytosis
Equatorial Africa, SE Asia
AD / AR
Functional abnormality in one
or more anchor proteins in RBC membrane- Alpha spectrin ,
Protein 4.1
Usually asymptomatic
Mx: Similar to H. spherocytosis
Variant:
3.SE-Asian ovalocytosis:
Common in Malaysia , Indonesia…
Asymptomatic-usually
Cells oval , rigid ,resist invasion by malarial parasites
Elliptocytosis
Слайд 131. Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase ( G6PD ) Deficiency
Pivotal enzyme in HMP
Shunt & produces NADPH to protect RBC against oxidative stress
Most
common enzymopathy -10% world’s population
Protection against Malaria
X-linked
Слайд 14Clinical Features:
Acute drug induced hemolysis:
Aspirin, primaquine, quinine, chloroquine, dapsone….
Chronic compensated
hemolysis
Infection/acute illness
Neonatal jaundice
Favism
Inv:
e/o non-spherocytic intravascular hemolyis
P. Smear: Bite cells, blister
cells, irregular small cells, Heinz bodies, polychromasia
G-6-PD level
Treatment:
Stop the precipitating drug or treat the infection
Acute transfusions if required
Слайд 15Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
Result from RBC destruction due to RBC autoantibodies:
Ig G, M, E, A
Most commonly-idiopathic
Classification
Warm AI hemolysis:Ab binds at
37degree Celsius
Cold AI Hemolysis: Ab binds at 4 degree Celsius
Слайд 161.Warm AI Hemolysis:
Can occurs at all age groups
F > M
Causes:
50%
Idiopathic
Rest - secondary causes:
1.Lymphoid neoplasm: CLL, Lymphoma, Myeloma
2.Solid Tumors: Lung,
Colon, Kidney, Ovary, Thymoma
3.CTD: SLE,RA
4.Drugs: Alpha methyl DOPA, Penicillin , Quinine, Chloroquine
5.Misc: UC, HIV
Слайд 17 IMMUNOHEMOLYTIC ANEMIA
MACROCYTE
SPHEROCYTE
Слайд 18Direct antiglobulin test demonstrating the presence of autoantibodies (shown here)
or complement on the surface of the red blood cell.
complement
Слайд 19Inv:
e/o hemolysis, MCV
P Smear: Microspherocytosis, n-RBC
Confirmation: Coomb’s Test /
Antiglobulin test
Treatment
Correct the underlying cause
Prednisolone 1mg/kg po until Hb reaches
10mg/dl then taper slowly and stop
Transfusion: for life threatening problems
If no response to steroids Spleenectomy or,
Immunosuppressive: Azathioprine, Cyclophosphamide
Слайд 202. Cold AI Hemolysis
Usually Ig M
Acute or Chronic form
Chronic:
C/F:
Elderly patients
Cold , painful & often blue fingers, toes, ears, or
nose ( Acrocyanosis)
Inv:
e/o hemolysis
P Smear: Microspherocytosis
Ig M with specificity to I or I Ag
Слайд 21Non-Immune Acquired Hemolytic Anemia
1. Mechanical Trauma
A). Mechanical heart valves, Arterial
grafts: cause shear stress damage
B).March hemoglobinuria: Red cell damage in
capillaries of feet
C). Thermal injury: burns
D). Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA): by passage of RBC through fibrin strands deposited in small vessels disruption of RBC eg: DIC,PIH, Malignant HTN,TTP,HUS
