Diseases of the blood (hematology)

Stomatocytosis and anemia developing with hypophosphatemia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Stomatocytosis (the presence of cup-shaped concave erythrocyte form) and anemia that develops during hypophosphatemia are abnormalities of the erythrocyte membrane causing hemolytic anemia

Hereditary Spherocytosis and Hereditary Elliptocytosis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary elliptocytosis are congenital anomalies of the erythrocyte membrane. With hereditary spherocytosis and elliptocytosis, the symptoms are usually mild and include anemia of varying severity, jaundice and splenomegaly.

Hemolytic anemia associated with mechanical damage of erythrocytes

Hemolytic anemia associated with mechanical damage to erythrocytes (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia) is caused by intravascular hemolysis as a result of intensive trauma or with turbulence of the blood flow.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (Marciafawa-Mikeli syndrome): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (Markiafawa-Mikeli syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobinuria and worsening during sleep.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is caused by antibodies that interact with erythrocytes at a temperature of 37 ° C (hemolytic anemia with thermal antibodies) or a temperature of <37 ° C (hemolytic anemia with Cold agglutinins).

Hemolytic anemia in adults

At the end of their normal life (-120 days), red blood cells are removed from the bloodstream. Hemolysis prematurely destroys and as a result shortens the life span of erythrocytes (<120 days).

Megaloblastic anemia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Megaloblast anemia is the result of a deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid. Ineffective hematopoiesis affects all cell lines, but in particular erythroid.

Anemia in myelofitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Anemia in myelofthisis is normochromic-normocytic and develops when infiltration or replacement of the normal bone marrow space by non -hematopoietic or abnormal cells.

Aplastic anemia (hypoplastic anemia): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Aplastic anemia (hypoplastic anemia) - normochromic-normocytic anemia, is the result of depletion of the reserve of hematopoiesis precursors, which leads to bone marrow hypoplasia, a decrease in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets

Hypoproliferative anemia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Hypoproliferative anemia is the result of a deficiency of erythropoietin (EPO) or a decrease in its response; they are, as a rule, normochromic and normocytic
