Red Blood Cell Membrane Disorders Report

Red Blood Cell Membrane DisordersSome genetic mutations affecting a particular group of membrane proteins and/or the cytoskeleton can cause marked morpho-functional alterations in red blood cells. These alterations can be responsible for hemolytic crises, due to the reduction in the deformability and elasticity of the red blood cells when passing through the blood capillaries.7 genes analyzed It is recommended if: This test is indicated for subjects who suffer from hemolytic crises, jaundice and anemia due to membrane defects in the red blood cells. List of main conditions: Hereditary Spherocytosis Hereditary Elliptocytosis Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis
