Erythrocyte Disorders

  • Includes RBC Anomalies like Anisocytosis, Anisochromia, Poikilocytosis, and RBC Inclusion Bodies
  • Anemia is also a key component

Red Blood Cell Anomaly

  • Anisocytosis: Increased number of RBCs with variation in size
  • Anisochromia: Variation in the normal coloration of RBCs
  • Poikilocytosis: Increased number of RBCs with variation in shape
  • Inclusion Bodies: Abnormal structures inside the RBC

Anisocytosis

  • Macrocytes: Large RBCs greater than 8.0um, are observed when MCV is greater than 100fL, and linked to impaired DNA synthesis
  • Microcytes: Small RBCs less than 6.0um, are observed when MCV is less than 80fL, and associated with defective Hgb formation

RBC Histogram

  • A visual display of cell size and cell frequency
  • Two parameters are computed: MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) and RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width)
  • Volume sizes between 36fL and 360fL are counted as RBCs
  • Volumes of 24-36fL are not counted as RBCs

RDW

  • RDW is calculated to identify anisocytosis.
  • The reference value is between 11.5% to 14.5%
  • It's dependent on the width of the distribution curve and MCV.
  • RDW CV (Coefficient of Variation):
    • Reference value: 39-46fL
    • The width of the curve is measured at a point 20% above the baseline level.
    • Not influenced by MCV
    • A more reliable measure of erythrocyte variability than standard deviation.

RBC Histogram Examples

  • Normal RBC Histogram: Normocytic RBC population with MCV of 89fL and RDW (CV) is 13%
  • Shift to the Left: Microcytic RBC Population: MCV is 75fL and RDW is 14.2%
  • Shift to the Right: Macrocytic RBC Population: MCV is 125fL and RDW is 13.8%.
  • Shift to the Left: Microcytic RBC Population: MCV is 64fL and RDW is 25.1%.
    • The lower discriminator includes WBC fragments, large platelets, microcytic RBCs, and platelet clumps.
    • The higher discriminator includes RBC agglutination, cold agglutination, nucleated RBCs, and small lymphocytes.

  • Increased destruction can be caused by:
    • Intracorpuscular abnormality
    • Membrane defect: HS, HE, Pyropoikilocytosis
    • Enzyme deficiency: G6PD, Pyruvate Kinase def, Porphyria
    • Globin abnormality (Hemoglobinopathies)

Porphyria, Hemoglobinopathies and Thalassemia

  • Abnormal hemoglobin
  • Mitochondria = Heme = Porphyria
  • Ribosome = Globin = Hemoglobinopathy (Qualitative) and Thalassemia (Quantitative)

Porphyria

  • Disorders characterized by impaired Heme synthesis and can be as acute and serious as Lead Poisoning
  • Lead will inhibit enzymes, Ferrochelastase and pyramidine 5' nucleotidase
  • Pyramidine 5' nucleotidase removes RNA from reticulocytes
  • no enzyme- leads to Basophilic stippling
  • Enzymes involved in ALA Deficient Porphyria Succinyl CoA +Glycine = ALA synthase ALA= ALA dehydrase PBG= PBG deaminase Hydroxymethylbilane Uroporphyrinogen =Uroporphyrinogen III synthase Coproporphyrinogen =Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase Protoporphyrinogen =Coproporphyrinogen oxidase Protoporphyrin IX (Porphyrin) = Protoporphyrinogen oxidase Heme = Ferrochelatase

Hemoglobinopathies

  • The differences in the arrangement of amino acids in the polypeptide chain
  • There are Four Major Groups of Hemoglobinopathies
  • Alpha hemoglobinopathies: 2nd most common
  • Beta hemoglobinopathies: Most common
  • Gamma hemoglobinopathies
  • Delta hemoglobinopathies
  • Α1/Α: 2α2β
  • Α2: 2α2δ
  • F: 2α2γ

Beta Hemoglobinopathies

  • Can be Homozygous where both genes are mutated
  • There is HbA1 is not produced and is ABSENT
  • Examples of Homozygous Beta Hemoglobinopathies Includes Sickle cell dse (HbSS) and Hgb C (HbCC)
  • Can be Heterozygous where only one gene is mutated
  • There is HbA1 production still present
  • Examples of Heterozygous Beta Hemoglobinopathies Includes Sickle cell trait (HbAS) and Hgb C trait (HbAC)

Thalassemias

  • Aka: Hereditary Leptocytosis and Mediterranean Anemia

Alpha thalassemia (αα/αα)

  • Is the Deletion of alpha globin genes
    • There are 4 forms of this genetic mutation
    • Silent carrier where 1 gene deleted and the individual will be Asymptomatic
    • Alpha Thalassemia Trait/ Minor where 2 genes deleted and the individual will have Mild microcytic hypochromic anemia
    • HgH Disease where 3 genes deleted and the individual will have Microcytic hypochromic anemia, are Found in adults, May co-exist with Hb Constant Spring
    • Hb Bart Hydrops Fetalis syndrome/ Alpha Thalassemia Major where 4 genes deleted and the individual will result with Most severe Fetus incompatible with life

Beta thalassemia (β / β)

  • Is the Mutation of beta globin genes which produces lesser amount of Beta chains
  • There are 4 forms of this genetic mutation
  • Silent carrier (ẞsilent / β) and individual will be Asymptomatic and require Molecular Genetic testing
  • Beta Thalassemia Trait/ Minor (β+ / β and or B° / β ) and individual will have Mild HA leading to Microcytic, Hypochromic
  • Beta Thalassemia Intermedia (Bsilent / Bsilent and or β+ / silent and or B°/ slient) resulting with Moderate clinical symptoms and Transfusion-Independent

Leukemia Overview

  • Is Overproduction of various types of immature and mature cells in the bone marrow and/ or the peripheral blood
  • If it is Myeloid Leukemia then Granulocytes, Monocytes and Platelets are produced
  • If it is Lymphocytic Leukemia then B cells and T cells are produced

Leukemia Characterization

  • By Timeline it can be Acute and or Chronic
  • Results from Myeloid cells it will be characterize to AML
  • If results from Lymphatic cells it will be characterize to ALL
  • While, if the cell line is of Chronic Line results form the Myeloid cells can be characterize as CML
  • And results form the Lymphatic cells can be characterize as to CLL
  • Characteristics of those Results differs from Signs and Symptoms
  • For Acute: Short duration, Numerous immature cell forms and Increase WBC count
  • While For Chronic Long duration
  • Mostly mature cell forms and WBC count: extremely elevated to lower than normal
