Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients who meet the criteria of non-immune mediated hemolytic anemia in whom acquired causes have been excluded in the diagnostic track. Such patients can be subdivided into 4 main categories: 1. red cell membrane disorders, e.g. hereditary spherocytosis 2. disorders of hemoglobin, e.g. thalassemia 3. metabolic disorders, e.g. pyruvate kinase deficiency 4. hemolytic anemia e.c.i.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Inability to give informed consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To create insight in current disease burden by creating a descriptive cohort of patients, diagnosed with rare congenital hemolytic anemia. Points of interest are: - Prevalence and incidence of disease - Quality of life - Prevalence and incidence of iron overload - Prevalence and incidence of comorbidities and related silent organ damage - Prevalence and incidence of splenectomy and complications

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To further analyze the pathophysiology of congenital hemolytic anemia: to perform a case control study comparing patient parameters and healthy control parameters. Parameters of interest are: 1. The tolerability of low hemoglobin levels in rare congenital hemolytic anemia patients. 2. Patterns in laboratory parameters: pro-inflammatory profile, Red blood cell characteristics, microparticle analysis, and markers of coagulation activation. 3. RNA seq parameters for peripheral blood mononuclear cell transcriptome mapping using blood sample analysis and then compare and relate outcome to other results of the study.
