Hereditary elliptocytosis encompasses a range of inherited red blood cell (RBC) membrane disorders characterized by elliptical-shaped RBCs. The condition is diverse, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe hemolysis. Effective management involves tailoring interventions based on the severity of symptoms, with options including no treatment for asymptomatic individuals and splenectomy for severe cases. Clinicians participating in this activity on hereditary elliptocytosis can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of the condition. The information covers the diverse spectrum of hereditary elliptocytosis, from asymptomatic cases to severe hemolysis, providing insights into the nuances of its presentation. Furthermore, participants will glean insights into the collaborative approach involving an interprofessional team in evaluating and treating hereditary elliptocytosis, emphasizing the importance of a holistic perspective in patient care. Overall, this activity equips clinicians with the knowledge and skills needed to manage and navigate the complexities of hereditary elliptocytosis effectively.
