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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Acanthocytes (from the Greek word acantha, meaning "thorn," also known as spur cells) and echinocytes (from the Greek word echinos meaning "sea urchin," also known as burr cells), although often confused with one another, are two different red cell morphologies that are associated with different pathophysiologies [2].
