@@MedicosisPerfectionalis can I ask a question? I have had spherocytosis (and known about it all of my life) I have no symptoms, but was diagnosed type1 diabetic 17 years ago (after an electric shock to my abdomen, killing my pancreas) but since then my hBa1c have been extremely low. Better than normal? I'm absolutely convinced this is down to my spherocytosis and not down to my diabetes control? But my diabetes consultant seems to know nothing about spherocytosis... I'm just after some clarification, as it's starting to worry me as I'm getting older..(i was diagnosed at birth, as my dad has spherocytosis and suffers alot from anemia, I am now 49 and not really had any other issues..) you input would be much appreciated... As you seem to know alot about this ailment. (P. S LOVED THE VIDEO!!)

They both had their spleens removed, but I got both my spleen and my gall bladder removed because I was the only one with gall stones.

Me neither! I have struggled with jaundice and high hemoglobin all my life, and two years ago I collapsed and had my surgeries. Really scary stuff, but cool stories for my friends either way. I wonder what my life would be like without this condition, but I think God has a plan for us even if we don't see it ya know

[@paigedesiree6181]

Colin Looby Most definitely! In 6th grade I passed out in phy-Ed class and that’s when they figured out I needed surgery. I’ve also had countless teachers ask my why I’m so yellow my whole life as I struggle with jaundice too. Life would be easier I guess without Spherocytosis but I like being a little different. God definitely has a plan!

[@christianledesma9017]

This video explained everything so well and furthered my knowledge about my own body since I have this and had all the treatments stated however I’m still not sure why penicillin is controversial ? But I had the splenectomy and cholecystectomy when I was 13 due to having an abundance of gallstones which causes pains and maybe visits to the er but I’ve been better since just gotta eat clean though

[@ammuwoohoo_]

Hey are you living a healthy without spleen? And you've no longer jaundiced?

[@xPlasticRosesx]

I was diagnosed with this at 14. My grandmother and great-grandfather had it. My grandmother had the splenectomy at the age of 20. She regretted it and it was her dying wish for me not to go through with the surgery that the doctors were suggesting. She died of liver cancer. As far as I know, great-grandpa died of old age and never did anything to treat the disease. I'm 37 now, still have my spleen and my gallbladder, I would say that aside from sometimes being slightly anemic I'm in good health. The last time I got all my bloodwork done one of the doctors that diagnosed me took a look and said it looked normal. Is this something that can just be outgrown?

Medicosis Perfectionalis it’s good, I have no spleen but I’m better than ever

[@ParvinRecipes]

Just a question from an egyptian fellow, isn’t hemolysis equals iron accumulation in the body? So isn’t it logical to decrease iron whether through diet or drugs?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Decrease what “iron”? Serum iron, transferrin, or ferritin?

[@ParvinRecipes]

Not the lab ones, the external sources ( like high iron meals, supplement ) Isn’t hereditary spherocytosis cause RBCs to rapture? Which means iron released into the body ( serum or liver as a storage or whatever ) so isn’t it logical to decrease iron intake in meals or supplement?

[@ParvinRecipes]

In another word, what’s the nutritional plan should these kind of patients receive? A low iron diet?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

No, because there serum iron level is usually low, because the bone marrow has used all the iron to make new RBCs...Remember, that it's working like crazy, also other organs are working like crazy (extrameduallary hematopoiesis) consuming all the iron.

[@chllovespizza]

hi may i know why the CB is being converted back into UCB in the gallbladder? is this part of the normal physiology as from what i know CB will travel down the biliary tree and be excreted out into urine and feces... pls correct me if im wrong:)

Thx!

[@QassamAlaa]

thank you so much but i have question . you mentioned that C.B is converted into U.B in the gall bladder ? does this happen in all cases of extra vascular hemolysis or only in spherocytosis cases ?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

You mean unconjugated bilirubin to conjugated bilirubin. Yes, it happens with all of extravascular hemolyses.

[@QassamAlaa]

@@MedicosisPerfectionalis Yes /thanks . but whats the purpose to give folate and iron for DNA synthesis if in all cases the cells produced will be spherocytes and will be destructed by the spleen ? does this mean that the patient have normal cells together with the spherocyte ? or you mean in autosomal dominant only ?

[@rayayalmaz9403]

Ayyyy my questions does not finish, no hope for me... Why the conjugated bilirubin will be high? The conjugation won't overload the unconjugated bilirubin so, it still being high. Is conjugated bilirubin is due to stucked gallstones?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

The conjugated will be slightly elevated, because the liver is working hard trying to conjugate the excessive unconjugated billirubin!

[@rayayalmaz9403]

@@MedicosisPerfectionalis what can i say!!!
