schizocyte

A true schistocyte does not have central pallor.

The resulting fragmented cell is called the schistocyte.

Schistocyte values between .5% and 1% are usually suggestive of DIC.

Schistocyte formation occurs as a result of mechanical destruction (fragmentation hemolysis) of a normal red blood cell.

These fibrin strands along with the stress from the blood flow cause fragmentation of the red blood cells, leading to schistocyte formation.

The force from the blood flow over the high pressure gradient from the prosthesis leads to fragmentation of red cells, and schistocyte formation.

Red cells get trapped in the fibrin strands of the microthrombi and become sheared by the force of blood flow leading to schistocyte formation.

A fragmented red blood cell is known as a schistocyte and is generally the result of an intracellular mechanical injury to the red blood cell.

Leaky prosthetic heart valves and other cardiac assisted devices can lead to microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and schistocyte formation.

A normal schistocyte count for a healthy individual is 1% is most often found in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, although they are more often seen within the range of 3-10% for this condition.

A schistocyte or schizocyte (from Greek schistos for "divided" or schistein for "to split", and kytos for "hollow" or "cell") is a fragmented part of a red blood cell.

Red blood cells passing the microscopic clots are subjected to shear stress which damages their membranes, leading to rupture of red blood cells within blood vessels, which in turn leads to anaemia and schistocyte formation.
