Spherocytosis treatment in Monterrey

Spherocytosis is a blood disorder, frequently hereditary in origin, in which the red blood cells take on a more rounded and fragile shape than normal. This fragility causes them to be destroyed prematurely, which can lead to anemia.

Possible manifestations: Tiredness, paleness, yellowish coloring of the skin or eyes, and, in some cases, an enlarged spleen.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable in the case of persistent paleness or fatigue, yellowish coloring of the skin, or a family history of blood problems.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist studies this type of red blood cell abnormality, and in children the pediatrician and the pediatric hematologist are involved. If you notice these signs, a specialized consultation helps clarify the diagnosis.
