Haematological symptoms can be helpful for the diagnosis of metabolic diseases. A megaloblastic anemia orientates to folate and cobalamine anomalies when associated with homocystinemia and decreased plasma methionine levels, or to congenital oroticuria (hypochromia), Pearson syndrome (sideroblasts and vacuolisation of precursors) and thiamine transporter abnormality (sideroblasts) in the absence of homocystinuria. An hemolytic anemia orientates to anomalies of anaerobic glycolysis, heme synthesis, or iron metabolism, and Wilson disease. A pancytopenia orientates to organic aciduria, lysinuric protein intolerance, mevalonic aciduria and lysosomal storage diseases (Gaucher, Niemann Pick, Wolman) when hepatosplenomegaly is present. Uremic hemolytic syndrome and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis respectively orientate to B12 anomalies, lysinuric protein intolerance, lysosomal storage diseases and organic aciduria.
