2 for 1 Deal... Hemolytic Diseases with Gallstones.



There are two hemolytic diseases with bilirubin stones as complications. One is sickle cell anemia, and the other is hereditary spherocytosis. One quick and dirty way to tell them apart is by looking at the spleen size. Sickle cell patients will have a spleen the size of a walnut buy the age of 2. Hereditary spherocytosis is the only hemolytic anemia with an enlarged spleen.
