MLAB 1415-Hematology Keri Brophy-Martinez Chapter 16: Hemolytic Anemias: Enzyme Deficiencies Introduction Enzyme deficiency within the rbc leads to hemolytic anemia Deficiencies compromise the integrity of the cell membrane or hgb causing hemolysis Most common are those associated with hexose monophosphate shunt and glycolytic pathway Review of RBC Metabolism Enzymes within the rbc are limited Enzymes that protect the cell from oxidant damage and provide the cell with energy are essential for cell survival Mature rbcs depend entirely on anaerobic glucose metabolism for energy needs Clinical Findings Normocytic, normochromic anemia Reticulocytosis Hyperbilirubinemia Neonatal jaundice HEREDITARY ENZYME DEFICIENCIES Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD) Sex-linked(X) disorder Affects Africans, Chinese, and Mediterraneans Most common enzyme disorder Denatured hemoglobin precipitates in the RBC after exposure to oxidative stress causing hemolysis HMP Shunt: Normal Function GSH levels maintained by NADPH to NADP NADP is reduced back to NADPH by G6PD HMP Shunt: Deficient Oxidizing agent causes increase of NADPH System is overwhelmed Oxidized hgb accumulates as Heinz bodies Causes of oxidative stress Ingestion of oxidative drugs Antimalaria drugs (i.e Primaquine) Quinine, quinidine Analgesics Ingestion of fava beans Favism is found in the Mediterranean area Person eats or inhales fava bean or its pollen Hereditary Laboratory features: G6PD deficiency Decreased H&H (hemoglobin and hematocrit) Hemoglobinuria Increased bilirubin and LD Reticulocytosis Morphology Blister cell Bite cell HEREDITARY ENZYME DEFICIENCIES Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK) Autosomal recessive anemia Red cells are unable to retain water which results in hemolysis, due to cell shrinkage, distortion of shape and increased membrane rigidity Pyruvate kinase is an essential enzyme in the Glycolytic/Embden-Meyerhof pathway Glycolytic Pathway: Normal PK converts PEP to pyruvate, with the conversion of ADP to ATP PEP Glycolytic Pathway: Deficient Energy can not be produced, due to lack of ATP Results in alteration of rbc membrane, dehydration, pump malfunction PEP Clinical Findings Symptoms vary depending on the degree of the anemia Jaundice Gallstones Laboratory features of PK H&H - slight↓ to marked ↓ P.S severity of anemia dictates degree of reticulocytosis, polychromasia, aniso, poik and NRBC’s.
