Sickling
Sickling of RBCs can be induced in those with sickle-cell anemia?
Yes, sickle-cell anemia is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin, causing red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped under certain conditions. This sickling process can lead to blockages in blood vessels, resulting in pain, damage to organs, and other complications.
What colour is a red blood cell when it is deoxygenated?
The color of a red blood cell is dark red when it is deoxygenated.

A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called a normocytic red blood cell.

Why D5W in a sickle cell patient?
D5W (5% dextrose in water) is often used in sickle cell patients to prevent dehydration and maintain adequate hydration levels. Sickle cell disease can lead to increased red blood cell destruction, which can result in dehydration and an increased risk of sickling episodes. D5W provides a source of glucose for energy and helps prevent the sickling of red blood cells by maintaining proper fluid balance in the body. Additionally, D5W is isotonic, meaning it has a similar osmolarity to blood, reducing the risk of hemolysis and other complications in sickle cell patients.

How does a person with sickle-cell allele differ from a person with two sickle-cell alleles?
If a person has a single sickle cell allele they will have some sickles red blood cells, and some normal red blood cells. This is the origami purpose that this evolved for. If a person had a single sickle cell allele, they will be mostly resistant to malaria. This is why sickle cell anemia is most prevalent in areas of the world where malaria is common. However, if a person has two sickle cell anemia alleles, they will have ONLY sickled red blood cells. The "sickling" of the red blood cells is caused by a mutation in the protien that the gene codes for. That protein is hemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood. If a person has sickle cell anemia, parts of their body wil not get enough oxygen. They can pass out, loose sensation in the limb, or even die from it. In short, a person with two alleles is sick, and a person with one allele is not.
