  1. microangiopathic hemolytic anemia

  2. microangiopathic hemolytic anemia

  3. TTP

  6. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia

  7. Target Cells • Increased surface to volume ratio • Actually shaped like a bell (3D) • Target cells are always hypochromic • Excess membrane cholesterol and phospholipid • Decreased osmotic fragility

  8. Target Cells • Hemoglobin C disease • Liver disease • Iron deficiency • Any hemoglobin abnormality • Post splenectomy

  11. 10 y/o boy of Italian descent Diagnosis : Beta thalassemia major Homozygous beta0 thalassemia Comment : beta0 = beta gene producing no beta chains no beta chains and hence no Hb A. untreated he has about 95% Hb F (remainder being Hb A2) Treatment : Transfusion to maintain hemoglobin level; Chelation therapy to remove excess iron present due to hemolysis and transfusions. Bone marrow transplantation is treatment of choice
