Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disease that leads to the accumulation of iron in the brain. Diagnosis of the disease is made with the absence of serum ceruplasmina detection associated with neuroimaging tests suggestive of iron overload in the brain, usually associated with other laboratory abnormalities, such as high levels of ferritin, light microcytic and low se…
The haemoglobinopathies are diseases that result from mutations in the genes that encode the globin chains that make up hemoglobin, among which stand out in the Brazilian population, diseases sickle. They are characterized by chronic hemolytic anaemia, painful crises of vaso-occlusion and target organ damage caused by the polymerization of HbS within the erythrocytes and hemolysis, which …
