Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a group of disorders characterized by the presence of elliptical-shaped erythrocytes on peripheral blood smear. Hereditary elliptocytosis and its related disorders are characterized by clinical, biochemical, and genetic heterogeneity. Manifestations range from the asymptomatic carrier state to severe, transfusion dependent hemolytic anemia. Abnormalities of various membrane protein defects contribute to mechanical defects of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton. We present a rare case of HE, an incidental finding without any clinical symptoms related to it. We also discuss on pathophysiology and being.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
