Echinocyte (from the Greek word echinos, meaning 'hedgehog' or 'sea urchin'), in human biology and medicine, refers to a form of red blood cell that has an abnormal cell membrane characterized by many small, evenly spaced thorny projections. A more common term for these cells is burr cells.
7 de jul. de 2023 · Burr cells are RBCs with spiny projections on their surface, caused by altered membrane composition or ratio. They may indicate systemic diseases such as liver or kidney failure, or autoimmune disorders.
Cell Description: The red blood cell has multiple evenly distributed projections that are of equal length that cover the entire surface of the cell. 1 Cells usually have an area of central pallor. 2. Cell Formation: Commonly form due to a “glass effect” during peripheral blood smear preparation with glass slides.
Echinocytes are red blood cells with multiple projections that cover the entire surface. They can form due to glass slides, storage conditions, or certain diseases.
3 de dez. de 2015 · Burr cells, also known as echinocytes, have a speculated border over the entire cell surface. Burr cells are commonly found in both end-stage renal disease and liver disease. In our study, Burr cells were found in 80% of healthy individuals although the numbers of cells are very small.

Burr cells are red blood cells with short, blunt projections around the circumference, seen in uremia, pyruvate kinase deficiency and other conditions. Learn about their definition, mechanism, history and differential diagnosis.
8 de jul. de 2022 · Three of the most common morphologies are burr cells (echinocytes), acanthocytes, and target cells. This topic discusses their mechanisms of formation and their usefulness in identifying systemic disorders.
