Hereditary elliptocytosis ultrasound

Because chronic haemolysis increases an individual’s risk of gallstones, people with elliptocytosis have an increased risk of suffering from gallstones. This risk is relative to the severity of the disease, and those with symptomatic elliptocytosis should have regular abdominal ultrasounds to monitor the progression of their gall bladder disease.^[1]
