Three patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria accompanied by chronic renal lesions were studied. All the cases had histories of severe hemolytic anemia and repeated hemoglobinuria. The biopsy specimen of the kidney of two patients (Case 1 and Case 2) showed interstitial nephritis. Renal glucosuria, tubular proteinuria, increased urate clearance (Case 2) and reduced tubular reabsorptio...

aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in iran. however, hemolysis associated with aluminium phosphide poisoning is very rare. we report a case of concurrent aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. key words: gl...

Background The occurrence of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome before 20 weeks of gestation is rare. HELLP is a possible but rare syndrome in gestational surrogate pregnancies for surrogates with risk factors for development of preeclampsia. Case A 32-year-old patient with chronic hypertension and positive antinuclear antibody presented for prenatal care at 13 we...

BACKGROUND Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a hematologic disorder that is rarely observed in infants and young children. Most of the cases are associated with viral or bacterial infections. In some cases, AIHA can be characterized by a chronic course and an unsatisfactory control of hemolysis, thus requiring prolonged immunosuppressive therapy. CASE REPORT Especially in children younger than 2...

Anemia is one of the most characteristic and visable manifestations of chronic renal failure. Investigators in the past decade have provided a better understanding of this anemia. The etiology of the anemia of chronic renal failure has three facets: first is reduced erythropoietin production by damaged kidneys; second is the presence of inhibitors to red blood cell (RBC) production in uremic se...

Peginterferon (Peg-IFN) alfa in combination with ribavirin represents the gold standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C, but is associated with various side effects, especially hematological abnormalities. We report here a case of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) complicated by symptomatic myocardial ischemia in a patient with chronic hepatitis C during combination therapy. The worse...

Shape changes of GSH-treated human erythrocytes during the acidified serum test were examined by a differential interference microscope. A time-course study of the erythrocytes undergoing complement-mediated hemolysis revealed two kinds of hemolytic processes. One is rapid hemolysis, in which GSH-treated erythrocytes are transformed into spherical forms prior to hemolysis. The other process is ...

Beta thalassemia is an inherited disorder resulting in abnormal or decreased production of hemoglobin, leading to hemolysis and chronic anemia. The long-term complications can affect multiple organ systems, namely the liver, heart, endocrine. Myocardial iron overload a common finding β-thalassemia. As result, different cardiovascular form cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, vas...

The current study aimed to detect S.pneumoniae, which is one of the gram-positive bacteria that gives partial α-hemolysis on blood agar media, as well has ability complete hemolysis (beta)-hemolysis under anaerobic conditions. Fifty sputum specimens were collected from patients in Ibn sena and Al Salam hospitals Mosul/ Iraq august 2021 March 2022. Five isolates diagnosed S.pneumoniae exhibited ...
