Shashidhar Venkatesh Murthy A/Prof & Head of Pathology College of Medicine & Dentistry ….. foundation of clinical medicine Clinical Pathology: RBC 1.4: Congenital Hemolytic Anemia
Pathogenetic Classification of Anemia: Decreased Production: Nutrient Deficiency. Iron def (IDA) / Megaloblastic (MBA) Hemopoietic cell defect: Anemia of chronic disorders (ACD) Aplastic anemia (AA). Dysplastic anemia. Myelodysplastic Syndromes Increased loss / destruction: Blood loss anemia – Acute / Chronic - bleeding. Hemolytic anemia – Congenital / Acquired. Acquired / External injury. Immune AIHA (Warm/Cold) Mechanical, Drugs & Parasites Congenital / Internal RBC defect Defective Membrane: Hereditary Spherocytosis. Defective Hemoglobin: Sickle & Thalassemia Deficient Enzyme: G6PD deficiency anemia. •Cell Mem •Hb. •Enzymes 3 3
Hereditary Spherocytosis: Spectrin deficiency* 1. Chronic hemolytic anemia (from birth or late) 2. Plenty of spherocytes. (more than in WAHA) 3. Massive splenomegaly. 4. Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis 5. Aplastic, megaloblastic or hemolytic crisis (Comb’s test negative) 4
Hereditary Spherocytosis: Normal spleen size of a fist…! Splenectomy: Therapy for severe HS 5
G6PD Deficiency: Oxidative hemolysis 1. G6PD deficiency. 2. Oxidative damage (old RBC) 3. Heinz bodies (globins) 4. Bite & blister cells (dry RBC*) 5. Episodic Hemolysis. 6. Splenomegaly, gall stones.. 6
"Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs come across in your life. ― Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India..
Hemoglobin Disorders: Congenital Hb. disorders: Globin chain* • Qualitative: Hemoglobinopathy eg. Sickle • Quantitative: Thalassemia syndromes. Hb F - α2γ2- 75% Hb A - α2β2 25% Hb A α2β2- 97% Hb A2α2δ2 - 2.5% Hb F α2γ2- <1% HbA HbF Physiologic anemia – change from Hb F to Hb A. 8
Hb Electrophoresis: New born Screening - Patient Hb-S Hb-F Hb-A A B C D Control Hb Barts Sickle (β4) Normal αThal αThal+ Sickle. + 9
• Heinz bodies. • Basophilic stippling. Thalassemia Pathologenesis Normal Hb. - micro/hypo Destruction - Hemolysis. Marrow Hyperplasia. Iron - Hemochromatosis Trait - Minor - Major 10
Thalassemia: Minor / Trait Quantitative - globin deficiency. Defective globin chain synthesis. α, β, , , … types. normal Hb & Abnormal globin complexes. α thal α Hb excess β forms abnormal tetramers (Heinz bodies, basophilic stippling etc) Major / Disease Minor: Normal / mild anemia. micro hypo, target cells. Major: severe Haemolytic anemia (transfusion dependent) 11

Sickle Cell Anemia: Hemoglobinopathy. Acute Chest Syndrome 13
Sickle Cell Disease: Clinical Features: 1. Anemia 2. Jaundice 3. Gall stones 4. Leg Ulcers 5. Auto-splenectomy. 6. Crisis* Splenic atrophy – (Auto-infarction) 15
The power of thought is not a compelling force. It is a building force, and it is only when used in the latter sense that desirable results can be produced. -- Christian D. Larson
