Intravascular Hemolysis

  1. Paraxsomal Nocturnal Hematuria(Chromosome X)
  2. G6PD (chromosome X)
  3. Auto-immune Hemolytic Anemia

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hematuria

Paroxysmal - Some Night Nocturnal - at sleep

  • Acquired X chromosome Deficiency of Gpi attachment protein
  • Gpi attaches CD55(Decay activating Factor), CD59 (membrane inhibitor Reactive lysis) ➡️ deactivates Complement
  • At night Shallow Breathing ➡️ Respiratory Acidois ➡️ Complement Actovation ➡️ Destruction of RBC,WBC and Platelets
  • *M/C death thrombosis of Hepatic and CNS(Damaged platelets activating THrombosis)
  • AML risk (acquired Mutation can cause Cancerous Mutation)

Labs

  1. Hemoglobunemia
  2. Hemoglubunria
  3. Hemosiderinuria(renal cells with absorbed iron necrosis)

Diagnosis

  1. Flow cytometry, FLARER to COnfirm
  2. Gel card test to screen

Treatment

  • Eculizumab

G6PD

  • X linked Recessive Disorder
  • Reduction in RBC life
  • Ocurs only on Predisposing Fctors that increse Free Radical injury
  • free radical injury ➡️ HEinz body(Aggregation of Hb) ➡️ MAcrophages eat membrane ➡️ bite cells

LAbs

  1. Methamoglobin reduction test(Methamgobulin is reduced to normal Rbc in NADPH presence)
  2. NADPH glows in UV
