About Hereditary Xerocytosis

Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis 1 with or Without Pseudohyperkalemia and/or Perinatal Edema, also known as dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, is related to hereditary stomatocytosis and pseudohyperkalemia, familial, 2, due to red cell leak. An important gene associated with Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis 1 with or Without Pseudohyperkalemia and/or Perinatal Edema is PIEZO1 (Piezo Type Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Component 1), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Transport of inorganic cations/anions and amino acids/oligopeptides and Disorders of transmembrane transporters. Affiliated tissues include spleen, monocytes and lung, and related phenotypes are increased red cell osmotic fragility and nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia

Major Symptoms of Hereditary Xerocytosis

Hereditary xerocytosis (HX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia, fatigue, and an increased risk of infections. The major symptoms include anemia, fatigue, frequent infections, joint pain, and jaundice.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Hereditary Xerocytosis

2. Pay attention to supplementing folic acid and vitamin B12: These vitamins are very important for the production and maintenance of red blood cells. It is recommended that patients supplement 400 micrograms of folic acid and 100 micrograms of vitamin B12 every day.

3. Avoid exposure to the sun: Patients with Hereditary xerocytosis are susceptible to sun damage and therefore need to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
