What happened if RBC count is low?
If the red blood cell count is low, the patient has anemia. Anemia can cause fatigue by leading to inadequate oxygenation of the tissues.
How does rheumatoid arthritis affect the blood?
It is not unusual for Anemia or "low blood" to accompany rheumatoid arthritis. Anemia indicates a low number of red blood cells and that these cells are low in hemoglobin, the substance that carries oxygen through the body. A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) can occur as a result of Felty's syndrome which is a complication of rheumatoid arthritis that is also characterized by enlargement of the spleen.
Why are individuals with genotype AA prone to malaria?
They do not carry the sickle cell allele, a. Individuals that are heterozygous have the advantage of being more resistant to malaria than homozygous dominant individuals, but are not affected by the disease.
How does the diameter of arteries veins and capillaries compare in size?
Arteries and veins are both in the same size range (which goes from more than an inch across to too small to be seen). Capillaries run about 4 microns - or half the diameter of a red blood cell (which must fold in order to get through them - thus the significance of sickle cell disease).
What is the ESR in a person with sickle cell anemia?

How do you ge sickle cell anemia?

Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Is Sickle cell anemia genetic?

What is required for a person to have sickle cell?
The person is homozygous for the trait
Are sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait the same?
No, sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait are not the same. Sickle cell anemia is a severe form of the disease caused by inheriting two sickle cell genes (one from each parent), leading to significant health complications. In contrast, sickle cell trait occurs when an individual inherits only one sickle cell gene and one normal gene, typically resulting in no symptoms but allowing the person to pass the trait to their offspring.
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
