Hereditary spherocytosis is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, known as spherocytes, which are spherical rather than the normal biconcave shape. This condition leads to increased fragility and a higher rate of hemolysis, resulting in anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. Primarily inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, it stems from defects in proteins that maintain the red blood cell membrane's integrity. This video addresses the mechanism of hereditary spherocytosis and involves exploring its clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options.
