RED BLOOD CELL
HISTORY:- Dutch biologist Jan Swammerdam in 1658 Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1674 In 1901, Karl Landsteiner- BLOOD GROUP
The oldest intact red blood cells ever discovered were found in Ötzi the Iceman, a natural mummy of a man who died around 3255 BC. These cells were discovered in May 2012.

![Page 25: pathophysiology of rbc ( red blood cells)](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013118/5562c22fd8b42a595e8b5155/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Complete blood picture• cells are microcytic and hypochromic• hemoglobin value is less • low serum iron concentrations • ferritin levels are markedly reduced.• high serum iron-binding capacity• absence of stainable iron in the bone marrow
• The physician must perform a thorough search for the source of bleeding, including using radiologic surveys of the gastrointestinal tract, sigmoidoscopy, a gynecologic examination, and a complete menstrual and dietary history.

over two to three weeks.

• First described by Plummer and Vinson• Plummer-Vinson syndrome is potentially
serious because pharyngeal and intraoral carcinoma are more common in these patients.
• Patients with symptoms of this syndrome should be followed up at short intervals and checked for the development of lesions that raise the suspicion of malignancy.

diagnosis• -decreased hemoglobin, increased reticulocytes.• Coombs test directLooks for immunoglobulin &/or complement of
surface of red blood cell (normally neither found on RBC surface)• Coombs reagent - combination of anti-human immunoglobulin & anti-human
complement• Mixed with patient’s red cells; if immunoglobulin or complement are on surface,
Coombs reagent will link cells together and cause agglutination of RBCs• INDIRECT coomb• Looks for anti-red blood cell antibodies in the patient’s serum, using a panel of
red cells with known surface antigens• Combine patient’s serum with cells from a panel of RBC’s with known antigens• Add Coombs’ reagent to this mixture• If anti-RBC antigens are in serum, agglutination occurs

Hemolysis due to:-
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuriadefect is an acquired clonal stem cell disorder that results in abnormal sensitivity of the RBC membrane to lysis by complement.
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Lack of G6PD leads to hemolysis during oxidative stress
![Page 37: pathophysiology of rbc ( red blood cells)](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013118/5562c22fd8b42a595e8b5155/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Due to hemolysis hb can be reduced by 3-4g/dl
• Drugs that induce hemolysis should be avoided such as dapsone,phenacetin.
