Gladwin, M.D. Critical Care Medicine Department National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland Twenty years before leading the Human Genome Project and with substantially less fanfare, Collins and colleagues reported the clinical history, cardiac catheterization results, and autopsy findings in three patients with sickle cell disease who had developed pulmonary hypertension ( ). They concluded "Although specific therapy has yet to be defined, the ominous prognosis of this complication of sickle hemoglobinopathy supports the application of experimental modalities such as continuous oxygen therapy, partial exchange transfusion, or even limited phlebotomy."

Hematology and Blood Disorders Hemolytic Anemia What is hemolytic anemia? Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is "hemolysis." There are two types of hemolytic anemia: intrinsic - the destruction of the red blood cells due to a defect within the red blood cells themselves. Intrinsic hemolytic anemias are often inherited, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. These conditions produce red blood cells that do not live as long as normal red blood cells. extrinsic - red blood cells are produced healthy but are later destroyed by getting trapped in the spleen, destroyed by infection, or destroyed from drugs that can affect red blood cells. The following lists some of the causes of extrinsic hemolytic anemia, also called autoimmune hemolytic anemia: infections: hepatitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), typhoid fever, E. coli, or streptococcus drugs: penicillin, antimalaria medications, sulfa medications, or acetaminophen

Hemolytic Anemia Anemia in General Microcytic/Normocytic/Macrocytic Absolute % retics = %retics (HCT/.45). Devide this by 1.5 or 2.5 if there is significant polychromasia to get the RPI. RPI of 5-6 are normal in the setting off chronic hemolysis. Hemolytic Anemias Inherited Abnl of RBC Interiors (Enzyme or Hemoglobinopathies) Membranopathies (Spherocytosis) Acquired Entrapment Immune Traumatic Toxic membrane effects PNH Inherited hemolytic anemias Red Cell Membrane Abnormalities Spherocytosis – Autosomal dominant, 1/4500. Usually mild anemia, splenomegaly and jaundice. MCV is normal. Splenectomy is curative as this is the site of extravascular hemolysis. Other rare diseases are hereditary elliptocysis, pyropoikilocytosis .. Red Cell Enzyme Defects The RBC has a very simple metabolic pathway metabolizing glucose to lactate. Deficiencies of enzymes in this pathway lead to hemolysis, the most common are G6PD deficiency and pyruvate kinase deficiency. Drugs which cause oxidative stress leading to hemolysis are antimalarials (not mefloquin) sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin, doxorubicin. Hemoglobinopathies SS disease, thalassemia

Resistant Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in dogs. Joanne Dickson's notes on AIHA have been reproduced below with her permission. These are dedicated to her dog Meisha. Lets define the terms of the disease one at a time. "Autoimmune" literally means the immunity against the self. "Hemolytic" is the destruction of red blood cells. "Anemia" is a clinical sign, not a disease. Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBC's) or the amount of hemoglobin, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen- carrying capacity of the blood. The symptoms or clinical signs of AIHA can appear suddenly or they may be gradual and progressive. The signs are usually related to the lack of oxygen and manifest themselves in the form of weakness, lethargy, and an increase in the heart and respiration rate. Pale mucous membranes (gums, ears, eyelids) may be observed. The dog also may appear to be jaundice. This is due to a build up of bilirubin, one of the breakdown products of hemoglobin. Vomiting or abdominal pain may be present. Owners may note the presence of blood in the urine or stool. An increase in temperature may also be observed in some dogs. A diagnosis of AIHA is made on the basis of these clinical signs as well as a CBC. A Coomb’s test should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. A small percentage of dogs that have AIHA will test negative on the Coomb’s test. Most of the time, a specific cause for AIHA is unrecognized. Many theories exist, but the ultimate answer is "We don’t know." Dr. Jean Dodds, a veterinarian studying immunology, states in her
