1 Hemolytic Anaemia Dr Mere Kende MBBS, Mmed (Path), MAACB, MACTM, MACRRM Division of Pathology, SMHS
2 Outline What is hemolysis/hemolytic Anaemia? Pathogenesis General Clinical Features of HA? What are the General Laboratory Features? Intrinsic vs extrinsic Causes Specific causes, diagnosis, investigation? References
3 Hemolysis Red Blood Cells disintegrate /break down releasing free hemoglobin+/- Anaemia. Hemolytic Anaemia Anaemia caused by hemolysis
4 Pathogenesis Intrinsic Red cell Defects Membrane Defect Hemoglobin Defects Enzyme defects Normal function depends on healthy membrane, normal hemoglobin, and normal enzyme system. Defective RBC, reduced survival due to rapid clearnance by RES Extrinsic Causes-Normal Red Cell Immune mediated (IgG) Transfusion Infections Splenomegaly
5 Clinical Features of Hemolytic Anaemia Signs of Anaemia & signs of hemolysis Fatique/lethargy/Pale/dyspnoea/dark urine jaundice Features of initiating/primary cause Fever/petechiae Medication hx Hx of prosthetic heart valve
6 General Laboratory Features Low Hemoglobin Reticulocytosis Reduced hemoglobin binding protein (haptoglobulin) Unconjugated/Indirect hyperbilirubinaemia
7 Reticulocytosis
8 Reticulocytosis-Methyl Blue stain
9 Other Features Elevated LDH (x10) Elevated AST Hemoglobinuria but No biliruninuria Elevated MCV/MCH (reticulocytosis) Occasional nucleated RBC in blood film BM aspirate/biopsy- erythroid hyperplasia
10 Hemoglobinuria
11 Normal Bone Marrow Normal bone marrow. This is a low-power view of a section of a normal bone marrow biopsy stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Note that the nucleated cellular elements account for ~40 50% and the fat (clear areas) accounts for ~50 60% of the area. (From Hillman et al.)
12 Bone Marrow-Erythroid hyperplasia Erythroid hyperplasia. This marrow shows an increase in the fraction of cells in the erythroid lineage as might be seen when a normal marrow compensates for acute blood loss or hemolysis. The M/E ratio is about 1:1. (From Hillman et al.)
13 COMPENSATED HEMOLYSIS Features are the same except no anaemia Inherited Hemolysis may present with signs of hemolysis without anaemia Hemolytic Anaemia may be precipitated by other condition, Eg; Pregnancy/infection/folate deficiency/crf
14 General Issues HD is amongst the least common causes of anaemia. Normal BM and recycling of iron compensates for loss (Reticulocytosis) Severity depends on primary cause Hemoglobinopathies (SS, thalassaemia) may or may not have reticulocytosis
15 General Issues Acute/Sudden HA (autoimmune hemolysis, G6PD defect) Lifelong clinical history typical of primary cause (Thalassaemia & SS) Complications from chronic hemolysis (gall stones, splenomegaly) eg HS Aplastic Crisis following infection Dx good history, blood smear, electrphoresis, ant-globulin test (Coomb s tests) and specific tests (G6PD)
16 Causes Intrinsic RBC defects Inherited Membrane defects: hereditary spherocytosis Enzyme defects: G6PD deficiency Hemoglobin Defects: sickle cells/thalassaemia Acquired- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, methhemoglobinuria Extrinsic factors Immune: autoimmune HA, drugs, lymphoproliferative ds Microangiopathic: TTP, HUS, DIC, heart valves Infections/Toxins: malaria, clostridium sepsis Hypersplenisim Burns (Extensive)
17 Haemolytic Anaemia Intrinsic Membrane Enzyme Hemoglobinopathies Hereditary Spherecytosis/ Ovalocytosis G6PD Deficiency PK Deficiency Thalassemia Unstable Hb Sickle Cell
18 Extrinsic Cause Extrinsic Ab -mediated Microangiopathy Infections Coomb s +ve autoimmune, ABO/Rh related, Drug Induced, Cold Agglutinins, T-antigen activation HUS TTP DIC Post-heart valve Malaria Severe Sepsis
19 Inherited Hemolytic anaemias (RBC defects) 1. Defects in membrane-cytoskeleton 2. Defects in hemoglobin 3. Defects in enzymes/machinery required for maintaining 1 and 2 above
20 Defects in membrane-cytoskeleton
21 highly integrated membrane structure Extracellular Glycoprotein antigen on the outside Band 3 most abundant protein Interruption of one protein results in structural failure-----alteration of RBC membrane ----prone to hemolysis e.g, Hereditary spherocytosis
22 General Pathophysiology Abnormal RBC easily destroyed (hemolysed) RBC lacks mitochondria/ ribosomes for energy (ATP) and maintenance of damaged structural proteins & Hb (NADPH) Easily damaged from stress of superoxides and oxygen radicals Protection of RBC depends of HMP pathway involving G6PD enzyme
23
24 Hereditary Spherocytosis Relatively common type of HA Frequency ~1 in 5000 Discovered around 19 century autosomal dominant condition. Abundance of spherocytes in the peripheral blood RBCs abnormally susceptible to lysis in hypotonic media (osmotic fragility test)
25 Genetically heterogeneous, i.e., it can arise from a variety of mutations in one of several genes Classically the inheritance of HS is autosomal dominant (heterozygous), some severe forms are instead autosomal recessive (homozygous).
26
27 Normal RBCs Spherocytes Spherocytes are red blood cells that are almost spherical in shape. They have no area of central pallor like a normal red blood cell. Large spherocytes (macrospherocytes) are seen in hemolytic anaemia. Small spherocytes (microspherocytes) are sometimes seen in severe burn cases. A variety of spherical forms are seen in hereditary spherocytosis.
28 The spectrum of clinical severity of HS is broad. Severe cases may present in infancy with severe anaemia Mild cases may present in young adults or even later in life. In women, HS is sometimes first diagnosed when anaemia is investigated during pregnancy. Main clinical findings: jaundice, an enlarged spleen, and often gallstones; frequently it is the finding of gallstones in a young person that triggers diagnostic investigations. The variability in clinical manifestations is related to different underlying molecular lesions
29 Mutations many different genes or various mutations of the same gene ---- different clinical manifestations. Milder cases,--- compensated hemolysis ; decompensation if precipitating event. Anaemia----is usually normocytic A characteristic feature is an increase in MCHC: this is almost the only condition in which high MCHC is seen.
30 Family history may be present Diagnosis is confirmed on the basis of red cell morphology and a test for osmotic fragility, a modified version of which is called the "pink test. Definitive diagnosis (some cases) -molecular studies demonstrating a mutation in one of the genes underlying HS.
31 Hereditary Spherocytosis: Treatment No definitive treatment Splenectomy after 4yrs old Avoid splenectomy in mild cases. Delay splenectomy until at least 4 years of age, after the risk of severe sepsis has peaked. Anti-pneumococcal vaccination before splenectomy is imperative, whereas penicillin prophylaxis postsplenectomy is controversial. Many will require cholecystectomy. It used to be considered mandatory to combine this procedure with splenectomy, but this may not be always necessary.
32 Hereditary Elliptocytosis HE is at least as heterogeneous as HS, both from the genetic Prevalence is same as HS Eliptical shaped RBCs No direct correlation between elliptocytic morphology and clinical severity exist Some mild or even asymptomatic cases may have nearly 100% elliptocytes,
33
34 Severe cases may have predominantly bizarre shaped poikilocytes Splenectomy may benefit severe cases An asymptomatic form, referred to as Southeast Asian ovalocytosis, has a frequency of up to 7% in certain populations, presumably as a result of malaria selection.
35 Enzyme Abnormalities Importance of RBC enzymes: Generate ATP (glycolytic pathway) Anaerobic Provide most of the required ATP needed for cation transport against concentration gradient, maintain cell membranes of RBC Generate NADPH (Hexose Monophophate Pathway) Prevents oxidative damage to Hb
36
37
38 G6PD Deficient Hemolytic anaemia Hereditary enzyme defect Decreased ability of RBC to withstand oxidative stress-----episodic hemolytic anaemia Oxidized hemoglobin ----denatures -----Heinz bodies (precipitants). Heinz bodies membrane damage removal of these cells by the spleen.
39 Hexose Mono phosphate Pathway
40 Genetic Considerations G6PD gene is X-linked, Males have only one G6PD gene (i.e., they are hemizygous for this gene), Females, having two G6PD genes, can be normal, deficient (homozygous), or intermediate (heterozygous). As a result of the phenomenon of X-chromosome inactivation, heterozygous females are genetic mosaics, with a highly variable ratio of G6PD-normal to G6PD-deficient cells and an equally variable degree of clinical expression;
41 Some heterozygotes can be just as affected as hemizygous males. Gene defect: -mutations in the coding region of the G6PD gene. Almost all of the 140 different mutations known are single (missense )point mutations, entailing single amino acid replacements in the 514 amino acid G6PD protein. G6PD activity decreases with age of RBC so aging cells are more susceptible hemolysis
42 Epidemiology G6PD Worldwide distribution (tropical and subtropical) ~ 400 million people with defective gene. Frequency may be as high as 20% or more in some countries Confers relative resistance to plasmodium falciparum malaria (?natural selection) Different G6PD variants in different parts of the world.
43
44 Clinical Findings X-linked recessive disorder mainly affects males Female: carriers are rarely affected only when an unusually high percentage of cells producing the normal enzyme is inactivated USA: 10 15% of American black males
45 Symptoms and Signs Patients are usually healthy, without chronic hemolytic anaemia or splenomegaly. Hemolysis occurs as a result of oxidative stress on the red blood cells, generated either by infection or exposure to certain drugs. Common drugs initiating hemolysis include dapsone, primaquine, quinidine, quinine, sulfonamides, and nitrofurantoin.
46
47 Even with continuous use of the offending drug, the hemolytic episode is self-limited because older red blood cells (with low enzyme activity) are removed and replaced with a population of young red blood cells with adequate functional levels of G6PD. Mediterranean variants may produce a chronic hemolytic anaemia.
48 Typically, a hemolytic attack starts with malaise, weakness, and abdominal or lumbar pain. After an interval of several hours to 2 3 days, patient develops jaundice often dark urine (hemoglobinuria) Most serious threat is acute renal failure (exceedingly rare in children).
49 Laboratory Test Features of hemolysis (reticulocytosis, etc) The anaemia is moderate to extremely severe, usually normocytic and normochromic, and due partly to intravascular hemolysis;
50 Blood Film Bite cells/immature red cells/henz bodies Blood films may show anisocytosis, and spherocytes Heinz Bodies: A classic test, is supravital staining with methyl violet (rarely done now) Reveals the presence of Heinz bodies, precipitates of denatured hemoglobin Regarded as a signature of oxidative damage to red cells
51 Peripheral Blood Smear
52
53 Definitive Diagnosis G6PD assay: qualitative /quantitative test G6PD immediately after hemolysis may be normal due to increased G6PD activity in young red cells
54 Treatment Treat anaemia & Infection Avoid offending drug/oxidant
55 Prognosis: Once the threat of acute anaemia is over, & in the absence of comorbidity, Full recovery from acute HA associated with G6PD deficiency is the rule.
56 Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Abnormalities of the glycolytic pathway are all inherited and all rare (Table 101-4). Among them, deficiency of pyruvate kinase (PK) is the least rare, An estimated prevalence of 1:10,000 Newborn: neonatal jaundice + marked reticulocytosis. The anaemia is of variable severity
57 Diagnosis may be delayed till young adults for instance, in a woman during her first pregnancy, when the anaemia may get worse. Delayed diagnosis because anaemia is remarkably well-tolerated or Block at the last step in glycolysis causes an increase in 2,3 DPG, a major effecter of the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve i.e., O2 delivery to tissues increased.
58 Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency: Treatment Supportive Folate Iron chelation Blood transufsion Splenectomy (severe) BM transplant

63 Quantization of Electrophorogram
64 Distribution of Thalassaemia
65 Thalasaemia Normal HbA1 ( 2 2) <2% HbA2 ( 2 2) Individuals inherit one beta gene from each parents compared to 2 alpha genes Alpha thalassemia- alpha chain defect/gene deletion - Thalassemia-beta chain defect/reduced beta chain amount/qantitative defect
66 Thalassaemia Gene Mutation Can affect any step for Hb synthesis: transcription, processing of the mrna precursor translation, posttranslational metabolism of the -globin polypeptide chain, etc. The most common forms arise from mutations that derange splicing of the mrna precursor or prematurely terminate translation of the mrna
67 Pathogenesis Abnormally developed Hb chain, excess normal chains, results in accumulation of abnormal Hb pigments & disturbed normal BM red cell production, removal of abnormal RBC by spleen----- enhanced hemolysis
68 General Features Asymptomatic Hemolytic Anaemia Erythroid hyperplasia/growth Failure Extramedullary hemopoiesis (hepatosplenomegaly) Microcytosis/hypochromia Iron Overload Need for repeated transfusion
69 Alpha Thalassaemia Syndromes -Globin Syndromes Haematocrit MCV genes 4 Normal Normal 3 Silent carrier Normal 2 Thalassemia minor 28 40% fl 1 Hb H disease ( 4) 22 32% fl 0 Hydrops fetalis/hb Barts (γ4) stillbirths
70 Alpha Thalassaemia Trait/Minor 1 or 2 gene deletions relatively common in Asian populations Asymptomatic throughout life Microcytosis /target cells may be seen Hb electrophoresis normal except decreased HbA2
71 hydrops fetalis at birth or In utero, Incompatible with life HbH 3 gene deletions (β2β2) microcytic but asymptomatic when well Some normal Hb (~30%) Has chronic hemolytic Anaemia May develop anaemia when stressed Survive, do not depend on transfusion Heinz Body seen Gamma chains only, High Oxygen affinity No tissue release of O2

73 Thalassaemia Major (inadequate - chain) Alpha chain >beta chains Uncommon in 1 st world due to increased antenatal screen & prenatal termination Present during second 6 months of life [switch of HbF ( 2 2) - HbA1 ( 2 2) at 1 st 6months] Presentation: severe hemolytic anaemia, slow growth, skeletal deformities, hepatosplenomegaly (always), heart failure
74 Laboratory Diagnosis Marked erythroblastosis & bizzare RBC forms on Blood Film hypochromic, microcytic anaemia, PCV <20% Increased HbF ( 2 2) and 2-fold increase in HbA2 ( 2 2)
75 Hypochromia, microcytosis, target cells, poikilocytosis, anisocytosis & acanthocytes (Thalassaemia Major)
76 Management Depend on transfusion/require Folate supplements Reduced life expectancy (<30yr) Iron Overload & Endocrine disorders Infection/Gall bladder Disease Bone Marrow Transplant
77 Amniocentesis Chromosomal Analysis Chorionic villous sampling (10-14 weeks) Amniocentesis (16-18 weeks) Risk of miscarriage 0.3-1%
78 Thalassemia minor /Thalassemia trait very common Rarely show significant anaemia and symptoms Causes microcytic, hypochromic Anaemia Clues on FBE include elevated RBC count/marked microcytosis Diagnosis: Hb electrophoresis- elevated HBA2 Often treated unnecessarily with iron HbA2 levels may be corrected with iron therapy obscuring the dx
79 Essentials of Diagnosis of Thalassaemia Microcytosis out of proportion to the degree of anaemia. Positive family history or lifelong personal history of microcytic anaemia. Abnormal red blood cell morphology with microcytes, acanthocytes, and target cells. In -thalassemia, elevated levels of hemoglobin A 2 or F.
80 Differential Diagnosis Iron deficiency Low Iron Low Ferritin Blood Film not strikingly abnormal (less target cells, acanthocytes etc) Hb electrophoresis-normal
81 Sickle Cell Anaemia Homozygous (ss) or double heterozygous (HbS/ -thalassemia) Defect in beta chain: substitution of valine for glutamic acid at 6 th residue on beta chain Deoxygenated HbS cell sickles easily switch from biconcave disk to elongated crescent-shaped or sickled cell Lack flexibility and rigid to transverse capillaries ---hemolysed 8% black Americans Up to 30% Central Africa (associated with malaria endemic areas) Gives slight protection from malaria

83 Clinically Asymptomatic carrier Symptoms onset at 6 months of age (HbF HbA switch) Multiple systems affected: CNS/Resp/skin/eyes/GUT/MSS etc Anaemia (hemolysis/aplasia) Half life of red cells : days Rapidly progressive anaemia with splenomegaly Delayed growth & Development Joint pains (small hand & Feet)
84 Acute Chest syndrome (pneumonia-like) Arterial ischaemia stroke Painless haematuria Painful crisis (joint/abdomen) Sepsis/Sickling crisis in carriers if severely hypoxic
85 Sickle Cell Trait Heterozygous genotype (AS) Clinically and haematologically normal Experience acute painful episodes only under extreme conditions such as vigorous exertion at high altitudes (or in unpressurized aircraft).
86 May have defect in renal tubular function Inability to concentrate the urine Experience episodes of gross hematuria. Sickling in the sluggish circulation of the renal medulla. Hb electrophoresis 40% HbS. No treatment is necessary. Genetic counselling is a reasonable strategy
87 Sickle Thalassemia Homozygous sickle cell anaemia and -thalassemia Associated with Milder form of hemolysis (slower rate of sickling) Reduced MCHC within the red blood cell. Double heterozygotes for sickle cell anaemia and thalassemia clinically affected with SC Syndromes. Sickle 0 -thalassemia Clinically very similar to homozygous SS disease. Vaso-occlusive crises may be somewhat less severe, Spleen is usually not infarcted. Hematologically, the MCV is usually low, in contrast to the normal MCV of sickle cell anaemia. No HbA but will show an increase in hemoglobin A2, which is not present in sickle cell anaemia. Sickle + -thalassemia milder disorder than homozygous SS disease, with fewer crises. Spleen is usually palpable. Hemolytic anaemia is less severe, Hematocrit is usually 30 38%, Reticulocytes of 5 10%. Electrophoresis show some Hb A.
88 Diagnosis of Sickle Cell Features of Hemolytic Anaemia Features of Sickle Cell +/-Thalassaemia Blood Film- demonstrate sickling cells( 5-50% ) Normocytic, normochromic anaemia, Hct: usually 20 30%. Reticulocytosis (10 25%), Howell Jolly bodies WBC elevated (12,000 15,000/mcL) Thombocytosis
89 Hb Electrophoresis- Hb S 76-96% HbF 2-20% HbA2 2-4% HbA1-0%
90 Treatment Supportive Conservative Antenatal Counselling Prenatal Diagnosis (DNA analysis)
91 Unstable Hemoglobins Hb prone to oxidative denaturation Normal G6PD system. Autosomal dominant and of variable severity. Mostly mild chronic hemolytic anaemia Have splenomegaly, mild jaundice, and pigment (calcium bilirubinate) gallstones. Less severely affected patients are not anemic except under conditions of oxidative stress.
92 Diagnosis: Heinz bodies and a normal G6PD level. Normal Hb electrophoresis Usually no treatment is necessary. Treat folate supplementation and avoid known oxidative drugs.

94 Haemolytic Anaemia Intrinsic Membrane Enzyme Hemoglobinopathies Hereditary Spherecytosis/ Ovalocytosis G6PD Deficiency PK Deficiency Thalassemia Unstable Hb Sickle Cell
95 Extrinsic causes of hemolysis Extrinsic Ab - mediated Coomb s +ve autoimmune, ABO/Rh related, Drug Induced, Cold Agglutinins, T-antigen activation Microangiopathy HUS TTP DIC Post-heart valve Infections Malaria Severe Sepsis
96 Autoimmine Haemolytic anaemia
97 Autoimmune Hemolytic Disease Mechanism of antibody-mediated immune destruction of red cells
98 General Considerations Acquired disorder in which an IgG autoantibody is formed that binds to the red blood cell membrane. Antibody is most commonly directed against a basic component of the Rh system present on most human red blood cells. Red Cell coded by IgG- recognised by macrophages of RES/Spleen removal of RBC membrane - formation of spherocytes - removal of RBC by RES --> hemolysis
99 Spherocytes Normal RBCs Spherocytes are red blood cells that are almost spherical in shape. They have no area of central pallor like a normal red blood cell. Large spherocytes (macrospherocytes) are seen in hemolytic anaemia. Small spherocytes (microspherocytes) are sometimes seen in severe burn cases. A variety of spherical forms are seen in hereditary spherocytosis.
100 Causes Idiopathic 50% Associated with SLE, CLL or lymphomas Transfusion incompatibility Note: drug-induced hemolytic anaemia. Eg penicillin (and other drugs) coats the red blood cell membrane, and the antibody is directed against the membrane drug complex.
101 Coomb s anti-globulin test Used to diagnose AIHA. Coomb's reagent Is a rabbit IgM antibody raised against human IgG or human complement. Direct Coomb's test - mix the patient's red blood cells with the Coomb's reagent Positive Agglutination Presence of antibody on the red blood cell surface. Indirect Coomb's test Mixing the patient's serum with a panel of type O red blood cells. Incubate test serum and panel O red blood cells, Add Coomb's reagent Positive Agglutination Presence of free antibody in the patient's serum.
102 Symptoms and Signs Rapid Onset Anaemia May be life-threatening in severity. Complaints of fatigue May present with angina or congestive heart failure. On examination, jaundice and splenomegaly are usually present.
103 Laboratory Findings Anaemia -variable severity Spherocytes are seen on the peripheral blood smear. Reticulocytosis is usually present, Nucleated RBCs (in cases of severe AIHA) Other lab signs of hemolysis ~ 10% have coincident immune thrombocytopenia (Evans syndrome).
104 Direct Tests- Positive Coomb's tests Indirect Test may/may not be positive. If positive, indicates large amounts of antibodies saturated RBC binding sites Patient s serum usually contains the autoantibody, it may be difficult to obtain a compatible cross-match with donor's cells.
105 Autoimmune Hemolytic anaemia Essentials of Diagnosis Acquired anaemia caused by IgG autoantibody. Spherocytes and reticulocytosis on peripheral blood smear. Positive Coombs test
106 Treatment Prednisolone 1 2 mg/kg/d in divided doses. Most transfused blood will survive similarly to the patient's own red blood cells. Because of difficulty in performing the cross-match, incompatible blood may be given. Splenectomy should be performed if no response Other agents: Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against the B cell antigen CD20, Cyclophosphamide, Azathioprine, or cyclosporine Prognosis: good if no underlying primary disorder Splenectomy is often successful in controlling the disorder.
107 Cold Agglutinin Disease
108 General Considerations Acquired disorder IgM autoantibody directed against the I antigen on all red blood cells. IgM autoantibodies does not react with cells at 37 C but only at lower temperatures. Hemolysis results indirectly from attachment of IgM, which in the cooler parts of the circulation (fingers, nose, ears) binds and fixes complement,cb3. When the red blood cell returns to a warmer temperature, the IgM antibody dissociates, leaving complement on the cell. Lysis of cells rarely occurs. Rather, C3b present on the red cells is recognized by Kupffer cells (which have receptors for C3b), and red blood cell sequestration ensues.
109 Causes Idiopathic (majority) Associated with Waldenström's (IgM paraproteinaemia) Mycoplasma pneumonia EBV infection
110 Symptoms and Signs Related to RBC agglutination on exposure to cold Mottled or numb fingers or toes. Hemolytic anaemia is rarely severe, Episodic hemoglobinuria may occur on exposure to cold.
111 Laboratory Findings Mild anaemia Reticulocytosis and spherocytes. Direct Coomb's test -positive for complement only. Bedside cold agglutinin test place a glass slide in ice Put a few drops of heparinized blood on it. Observe for small clumps of agglutinated blood.
112 Cold Agglutinin Disease Essentials of Diagnosis Increased reticulocytes and spherocytes on peripheral blood smear. Coomb's test positive only for complement. Positive cold agglutinin test.
113 Treatment Largely symptomatic, Avoid exposure to cold. Splenectomy and prednisone are usually ineffective since hemolysis takes place in the liver. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen on B lymphocytes, is the treatment of choice. Other agents: cyclophosphamide+/-cyclosporine.
114 Microangiopathic Hemolytic anaemias Extrinsic Ab - mediated Microangiopathy Infections Coomb s +ve autoimmune, ABO/Rh related, Drug Induced, Cold Agglutinins, T-antigen activation HUS TTP DIC Post-heart valve Malaria Severe Sepsis
115 Microangiopathic Hemolytic anaemias Red Cell Fragmentation takes place intravascular space Hallmark of disorder is: finding of fragmented red blood cells (schistocytes, helmet cells) on the peripheral blood smear. Plus features of hemolysis In severe cases, methemalbuminemia.
116 Causes Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) HUS DIC Heart Valve Prosthesis Vasculitis Clinical features are variable and depend on the underlying disorder. Coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia are variably present. Chronic microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia (such as is present with a malfunctioning cardiac valve prosthesis) may cause iron deficiency anaemia because of continuous lowgrade hemoglobinuria.
117 DIC There are numerous fragmented RBC's seen here. Some of the irregular shapes appear as "helmet" cells. Such fragmented RBC's are known as "schistocytes" and they are indicative of a microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia (MAHA) or other cause for intravascular hemolysis. This finding is typical for disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC)
118 Heart Valve Prosthesis Red cell fragmentation. Red cells may become fragmented in the presence of foreign bodies in the circulation such as mechanical heart valves or in the setting of thermal injury.
119 Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). (50 x.) Shown are multiple schistocytes (fractured red blood cells), pathognomic of microangiopathic hemolytic disorders such as HUS and TTP. This is a hemolytic state: Increased reticulocyte count and very often the presence of polychromasia (immature, slightly blue erythrocytes). Very few platelets are present
120 Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
121 General Considerations Is an uncommon syndrome No-ninfectious fever, neurologic disorders, and renal abnormalities are less commonly seen. Pathogenesis: Adult TTP Deficiency of a von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease, ADAMTS13, in some cases due to an antibody directed against the protease. Results in accumulation of ultralarge multimers of vwf accumulate Lead to platelet agglutination and adhesion to endothelium.
122 ADAMTS13 Protein
123 Pathogenesis of TTP Normally the ultra-hmw multimers of VWF produced by the endothelial cells are processed into smaller multimers by a plasma metalloproteinase called ADAMTS13. In TTP the activity of the protease is inhibited, and the ultra-high molecular-weight multimers of vwf initiate platelet aggregation and thrombosis. (From Vesely et al., Copyright American Society of Hematology.)
124 TTP in young adult (20 and 50 years) F>M Precipitated by oestrogen use, pregnancy, drugs (quinine) and infections The syndrome may also occur as a complication of bone marrow transplantation or the use of cyclosporine or tacrolimus. Rarely familial cases
125 Symptoms and Signs Anaemia and Bleeding Neurological symptoms (headache, confusion, aphasia, and alterations in consciousness from lethargy to coma, or even hemiparesis and seizures) acutely ill and is usually febrile. Pallor, purpura, petechiae, and signs of neurologic dysfunction may be detected May have abdominal pain and tenderness due to pancreatitis
126 Laboratory Findings Signs of Hemolytic Anaemia Signs of MAHA (fragmented red blood cells-schistocytes, helmet cells, triangle forms) Coomb's test is negative. Coagulation tests (PT, APTT, Fibrinogen ) are normal Azotaemia (renal failure) ADAMTS13 is usually absent Thrombi in capillaries and small arteries (biopsy)
127 Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Essentials of Diagnosis Thrombocytopenia. Microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia. Neurologic and renal abnormalities, fever. Reduced level of ADAMTS13. Normal coagulation tests.
128 Differential Diagnosis DIC (abnormal PT, APTT) HUS (more renal failure, no CNS symptoms) Vasculitis (skin biopsy) AIHA (Coomb's positive )
129 Treatment Plasmapheresis (1 st choice) Antiplatelets (aspirin) Steroids (prednisolone) Immunosupression (cyclophopshamide)
130 Prognosis Complete recovery 80-90%. Neurologic abnormalities are almost always completely reversed. 20% of cases the disease will be chronic and relapsing.
131 Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS)
132 General Considerations HUS is an uncommon disorder Causes MAHA, thrombocytopenia and renal failure (haematuria & proteinuria) Cause is unclear. The disease is similar to TTP except that different vascular beds are involved. In fact, the two diseases are probably best considered as part of a spectrum of HUS TTP disorders. Pathogenesis of the two disorders is probably similar (platelet-agglutinating factor found in plasma may be involved).
133 In children, occurs after a diarrheal illness secondary to infections with Shigella, Salmonella, E coli strain O157:H7, or viral agents. The mortality rate of this form is low (< 5%).
134 In adults Often precipitated by: estrogen use Postpartum state Drugs (high-dose corticosteroid therapy, cyclosporine or tacrolimus) Autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation Familial Type--members of a family have recurrent episodes over several years.
135 Symptoms and Signs Anaemia Bleeding Renal Failure In contrast to TTP, there are no neurologic manifestations other than those due to the uremic state.
136 Laboratory Findings As in TTP Thrombocytopenia often less severe Coomb's test is negative. Coagulation tests are normal with the exception of elevated FDP. As in TTP, levels of ADAMTS13 are usually low. Kidney biopsy -show endothelial hyaline thrombi in the afferent arterioles and glomeruli. Ischemic necrosis in the renal cortex may occur with obstruction from intravascular coagulation.
137 Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome Essentials of Diagnosis Microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia. Thrombocytopenia and renal failure. Normal coagulation tests. Absence of neurologic abnormalities.
138 Differential Diagnosis DIC (abnormal PT, APTT) TTP (neurologic features)
139 Treatment In children, is almost always self-limited, Conservatively treat ARF In adults, if untreated, there is a high rate of permanent renal insufficiency and death. Daily plasmapheresis + FFP treatment of choice
140 Prognosis Children good Adults -remains unclear. No treatment- up to 40% died, and 80% have had chronic renal insufficiency. Early aggressive treatment - improved survival.
