KnowraHereditary spherocytosisLinked fromLinked fromThe 8 pages that link to Hereditary spherocytosis, each with the reason it gives.All 8Broader topic 3Related 1Compared with 4Red blood cellBroader topic: Defects in membrane support can shorten red-cell survival and cause anemia.HemolysisBroader topic: Membrane defects make red cells less deformable and promote their premature destruction.Hemolytic anemiaBroader topic: It is a classic inherited cause of predominantly extravascular hemolysis.SpleenRelated: The spleen preferentially traps and destroys the abnormal, less deformable cells.Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiencyCompared with: Its membrane defect contrasts with G6PD-related vulnerability to oxidants.Autoimmune hemolytic anemiaCompared with: It can resemble immune hemolysis on a smear but is not antibody-driven.Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuriaCompared with: It causes hemolysis through an inherited membrane defect, not an acquired complement-sensitive clone.Claudia PechsteinCompared with: Pechstein argued that a hereditary condition explained her abnormal blood values.
