In our upcoming hematology series, we'll delve into the fascinating world of genetic blood disorders. Our first episode will focus on Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS), a condition characterized by the production of abnormally shaped red blood cells resembling spheres instead of the usual disc-like shape.

We'll explore the underlying genetic mutation that causes HS and how it impacts the structure and function of red blood cells. Next, we'll discuss the common symptoms associated with HS, such as anemia, fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain. We'll also delve into the diagnostic process, including blood tests and genetic analysis.

Finally, we'll discuss the available treatment options for HS, which may include blood transfusions, medications, and in some cases, splenectomy.

Join Dr. Niket as we explore this rare genetic blood disorder and learn more about its impact on individuals and families.
