As the disease progresses, excessive levels of bilirubin, a breakdown product of red blood
cell hemolysis, build up within the body.
Not exact matches
(HELLP syndrome: A syndrome featuring a combination of «H» for
hemolysis — breakage of red blood
cells, «EL» for elevated liver enzymes, and «LP» for low platelet count — an essential blood clotting element.)
The name is an acronym for
hemolysis, the breakdown of red blood
cells; elevated liver enzymes; and low platelets, the blood
cells that are necessary for clotting.
HELLP syndrome is named for its primary symptoms:
Hemolysis (H), or the breakdown of red blood
cells, elevated liver enzymes (EL), and low platelet count (LP) occurring in pregnancy.
The term HELLP is an anagram, made up of the first letters of the three main signs of the illness:
Hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood
cells in the body), Elevated Liver function, and Low Platelet count (which contributes to poor blood clotting).
HELLP — which stands for
hemolysis (the destruction of red blood
cells), elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count — syndrome is a more severe form of preeclampsia, and can rapidly become life - threatening for both you and your baby.
In rare cases the bite also can cause a severe illness called systemic loxoscelism, characterized by a blood clotting disorder and
hemolysis, destruction of red blood
cells.
Deconstructing sickle
cell disease: reappraisal of the role of
hemolysis in the development of clinical subphenotypes
By doing this it reduces
hemolysis, the destruction of red blood
cells, in patients with PNH.
Fasting was discovered to lead to the reduction of blood plasma and red
cell coagulation, deterioration of platelet aggregation, a rise of the oxidized hemoglobin content, and an increase in red
cell resistance to peroxide
hemolysis.
Hemolysis is an acceleration in the breakdown of red blood
cells, causing a surplus of depleted
cells and iron that can lead to enlarged lymph nodes, spleen or liver.
Hemolysis is an autoimmune condition, meaning that a dog's immune system directs its disease - fighting antibodies at the red blood
cells.
Hemolysis is the sudden destruction of red blood
cells within the veins and arteries of the body.
Hemolysis can falsely increase cholinesterase levels in serum / plasma samples by releasing more of these enzymes from destroyed red blood
cells.
Deficiency of this enzyme results primarily in easily damaged red blood
cells (
hemolysis) and less severe damage to skeletal muscle
cells.
After strenuous activity or periods of excitement or stress, affected dogs may have symptoms of
hemolysis and muscle
cell damage, which can include red or brown urine, muscle cramping and jaundice.
Sometimes the incompatibility of blood type DEA 1.1 can be fatal or at least causes severe
hemolysis of transfused blood
cells.
Additionally,
hemolysis results in release of analytes and enzymes from red blood
cells (RBCs), which can falsely elevate many test results.5 Destruction of RBCs yields a lower RBC count.1 Excess fluid released from the lysed RBCs also creates a dilution effect in serum and can result in an artifactually decreased packed
cell volume.
Once targeted, the red blood
cells are either destroyed within the blood vessels by a process called intravascular
hemolysis or destroyed when they circulate through the liver or spleen by a process called extravascular
hemolysis.
Dogs with blood group 1.0 are relatively more at risk of blood incompatibility or complications, such as
hemolysis (the breakdown of blood
cells which release hemoglobin), so dogs with this canine blood type are not considered good donors and / or recipients.
