1 RBC membrane disorders
RBC membrane disorders. The normal erythrocyte morphology is a biconcave disc, but RBC membrane defects cause an abnormal morphologic appearance among circulating erythrocytes, which leads to hemolytic anemia. A: Spherocytes that are small dense cells lacking central pallor. B: Elliptocytes that have an oval elongated shape. C: Spheroelliptocytosis featuring cells with features of both spherocytes and elliptocytes. D: Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis with bizarre morphology, including small triangular erythrocytes.
