DEHYDRATED HEREDITARY STOMATOCYTOSIS

Alternate names

DEHYDRATED HEREDITARY STOMATOCYTOSIS Is also known as hereditary xerocytosis

Description

Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS) is a rare hemolytic anemia characterized by a decreased red cell osmotic fragility due to a defect in cation permeability, resulting in red cell dehydration and mild to moderate compensated hemolysis. Pseudohyperkalemia (loss of potassium ions from red cells on storage at room temperature) is sometimes observed.

DEHYDRATED HEREDITARY STOMATOCYTOSIS 2; DHS2

Alternate names

DEHYDRATED HEREDITARY STOMATOCYTOSIS 2; DHS2 Is also known as desiccytosis gardos, xerocytosis gardos

Description

In dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS), also known as hereditary xerocytosis, red blood cells exhibit altered intracellular cation content and cellular dehydration, resulting in increased erythrocyte mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and decreased erythrocyte osmotic fragility. Blood films show various cell shape abnormalities, the most characteristic being the stomatocyte, with a straight or crescent-shaped central pallor (summary by Rapetti-Mauss et al., 2015).For discussion of clinical and genetic heterogeneity of the stomatocytoses, see DHS1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of DEHYDRATED HEREDITARY STOMATOCYTOSIS 2; DHS2

  • Anemia
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Splenomegaly
  • Jaundice
  • Hepatosplenomegaly
