In a nutshell, it makes your RBCs (Red Blood cells) sickle shaped. The RBCs can't pick up as much oxygen so you may have trouble breathing. They also collect around the joints causing extreme pain.
Folic acid helps the body make red blood cells and can improve the symptoms of anemia by supporting the production of healthy red blood cells. However, folic acid supplements will not directly affect the underlying cause of sickle cell anemia, which is a genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin.
The body cannot fight against sickle cell anemia, its almost helpless. It relies on treatment, an outside source to help treat the disease. The immune system does try to destroy the affected red blood cells but its not very helpful.
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects molecule in red blood cells (hemoglobin) that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. Person with this disorder have typical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape.
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.
sickle cell disease is also a sickle cell anemia is a hereditary problem. It causes type of faulty haemoglobin in red blood cells. Human red blood cells will be circular in shape, so that it can run properly and move flexible in blood vessels but Sickle cell anemia will be in sickle or like crescent moon shape, so that they cant move well in small blood vessels and it blocks the blood vessels. If the blood vessels are blocked it causes low supply of oxygen to body organs and it causes severe pain, infection, jaundice and may also cause strokes. It also leads to death of a person.
Sickle Cell Anemia affects all body parts as long as blood flows to that part and as long as it is prone to pain. Besides it is *anaemia not ammonia.
it blocks other blood cells
Folic acid helps the body make red blood cells and can improve the symptoms of anemia by supporting the production of healthy red blood cells. However, folic acid supplements will not directly affect the underlying cause of sickle cell anemia, which is a genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin.
Oxygenation of other body cells. -ZyraEdits For the record you can find out 90% of biology answers by using a dictionary.
The body cannot fight against sickle cell anemia, its almost helpless. It relies on treatment, an outside source to help treat the disease. The immune system does try to destroy the affected red blood cells but its not very helpful.
None just you blood is affected by anmia
There is a type of Anemia called Sickle Cell Anemia, meaning the red blood cells are a sickle shape. The hemoglobin in the body doesn't work right, meaning that it blocks the vessels causing the red blood cells to break down quicker than they should, so not enough Oxygen is getting around the body.
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects molecule in red blood cells (hemoglobin) that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. Person with this disorder have typical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape.
Every body system is affected by every other body system.
Since the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is lower with sickle cell anaemia, your whole body is effected. You get tired very quickly, and because of the anormal shape of the blood cells strokes are more likely because coagulation can happen more easily.
The spleen is the body's reservoir for blood and also plays a role in red blood cell development. When a person has either malaria or sickle cell anemia the body tries to make more blood available, so the extra amount is stored in the spleen.
Well reag anemia is where your red blod cells produced from bone marrow are very low in quantity. Your not having enough produced. Sickle cell is the same but the few being produced are shaped diff and in a way deformed and your RBC carry oxygen throughout body so with sickle cell the RBC u do have aren't healthy and can't appropriately deliver oxygen in reag anemia they can appropriately deliv oxygen but there are very few
