The difference between sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease?
It has to do with your genitic make up. You don't have sickle cell anemia because you only have 1 of the traits on your beta hemoglobin gene. People with sickle cell anemia have two.Most of the time peolple with sickle cell trait display much milder symptoms. It is more prevolent in African Americans and woman should be monitored during pregnancy.
What is overt deficiency?
Overt deficiency is what is commonly known as sickle cell disease. This means that there is lack of sufficient iron in the blood.
Is it good to have sickle cell?
Yes, and no. No, because when you do have sickle cell anemia, your irregular blood shape interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen and pass through narrow openings such as the capillary. People who have sickle cell die relatively early because of the organ damage and lack of oxygen caused by the blood's irregularity. Yes, because it has been found that people with sickle cell anemia are protected against malaria.
Can you die from sickle cell anemia?
Yes, and no. No, because when you do have sickle cell anemia, your irregular blood shape interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen and pass through narrow openings such as the capillary. People who have sickle cell die relatively early because of the organ damage and lack of oxygen caused by the blood's irregularity. Yes, because it has been found that people with sickle cell anemia are protected against malaria.
Can sickle cell's kill you?
a possible way it can kill you is from a simple blood clot. If the sickle shaped blood cells that formed into clumps stick to the walls of the blood vessels, blood flow will be blocked and the lack of blood circulation can cause a blood clot. If that blood clot so happens to follow the blood stream into your heart... YOU WILL DIE.
Why does certain people suffer from a lack of white blood cell?
it could be caused by a disease...smoking also eliminates your white blood cell count
What causes sickle cell anemia?
Basically, sickle cell anemia means that some of the red blood cells of the person with the disease are not the right shape, instead of being bowl shaped, they are half moon shaped. This means that they can't carry oxygen around the body as well as a person without the condition. As the sickle cells are not only the wrong shape, but also quite rigid, they can block the blood capillaries, so that tissues in the body become starved of oxygen (ischemic). The blockages can vary loads in severity/frequency etc, and they can end up causing a stroke or heart attack if blocking a blood vessel to the brain or heart. One of the organs that is really badly affected by this is the spleen. It has really narrow blood vessels leading to it, so can get starved of oxygen badly and frequently. Normally this means that people with sickle cell anemia do not have a working spleen by the end of childhood, so are at risk of infections. People with sickle cell anemia tend to have more red blood cells than people without the condition as their body over compensates for the red blood cells.
How does sickle cell anemia affect the muscular system?
The lack of blood flow or poor blood flow will cause problems when you need muscles the most.
What parts of the body are affected by sickle cell disease?
Sickle Cell disease is a genetic desease that often effect humans with and African background. It is a mutation that makes the read blood cells in our body to look different an have a abnormal form. These blood cells are shown to have a good effect on protecting the human body against malaria and other types of diseases and that's why the mutation is still common in Africa but the disease is recessive so both parents have to have the disease to pass it on to there child. But the negative effects that are caused by this disease is that the spleen that are located on the top of the left kidney breaks down these unnormal blood cells and that couses a blood shortage in the body. Those unnormal blood cells also are lack oxygen. These two things are common and effects the organs and the whole system in our body.
