Anemia

Once it is spoiled, there is no way to change it back.

there are over 400 types of anemia. such as sickle cell, G6PD anemia, iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, aplastic, megaloblasic/pernicious, hemolytic, hemoglobin, Thalassemia, Excessive destructions of red blood cells and many more.

3 major types of anemias:

low RBC anemias

Low hemoglobin content

abnormal hemoglobin

yes

you can eat what we eat. Theres no difference. People w/out sickle cell eat regular

things.so can people w/ sickle cell

no,ascaris don't cause anemia

yes

A myelophthisic anemia is the displacement of the bone marrow into the peripheral circulation by a disease such as metastasis of the bone marrow. This leads to the presence of nucleated RBCs and immature myeloid cells in the peripheral blood. Under microscopy, this is known as "leukoerythroblastic smear."

Koilonychia!

The normal iron level your son that is 35 years old should be between 12 and 15.5 g of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood. It is uncommon for a Dr. to recommend an iron supplement everyday for a person that is anemic.

People with sickle cell anemia are resistant to malaria, which increases their ability to survive and produce offspring. This is evolution in action. Since malaria is a bigger problem in Africa than in America, it is more prevalent in Africa. Many black people in America have inherited this gene from their ancestors

definitely no. its only about the size difference of r b c

Both were carriers.

so you're 15 and you're worried of a heart attack? you took aspirin to thin your blood to stop it and now you think the aspirin affected your red blood cells and not just your platelets... nice.

judging by your spelling of the word "anaemia" you're American, which i think gives you something like a 30% chance of being obese, sorry if my statistics are slightly out. to reduce your risk of heart attack, youd be much better off eating less saturated fats and doing some exercise.

aspirin doesnt affect your haemoglobin, so you didnt get anaemia from aspirin. if you have got it, eat more iron.

don't take drugs without consulting your doctor first. the chance of a heart attack at 15 is pretty small if i recall correctly.

oh, by the way, you're supposed to ingest aspirin. if you did indeed smoke it with weed as "toke" suggests you did, i would advise not to do that in the future. mixing drugs isn't good, and marijuana is illegal. unless you're from the Netherlands.

A simple blood test to determine iron and other substances in the blood will help diagnose the presence of anemia.

Sickle Cell Anaemia is a single gene defect (Hb gene).

Sickle cell may be treated by either a family doctor or if a specialist is needed it would be a Hematologist.

hematologist only diagnose the condition from blood workups...

see an internal medicine specialist...they are the ones trained to treat and follow up the condition

you have a 50/50 chance me and my twin both had it and my 2 older brothers are fine 1 is a carrier and the other is not.

St. Judes is currently doing research to help the cure of the sickle disorder.

Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.

A sex-linked cell refers to a cell that carries genes located on the sex chromosomes, typically the X and Y chromosomes in humans. These genes can influence traits that are often associated with an individual's sex, such as color blindness or hemophilia, which are linked to the X chromosome. Because males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes, the inheritance patterns and expression of sex-linked traits can differ between genders.

It means that the blood count is low because somebody was bleeding (as opposed to blood count being low due to, say, lack of red blood cell production or

increased blood cell detruction.)

No

pernicious anemia?

The first step would be for her to see her doctor for some testing. The doctor can determine the likely cause of the anemia, with the most common being iron deficiency.

If she is iron deficient related to being vegetarian, the doctor will most likely recommend an iron supplement. They should be taken with meals to minimize stomach irritation.

Foods that contain iron should be eaten liberally. Foods suitable for a vegetarian that are high in iron include:

* Dark leafy greens (spinach, asparagus, broccoli, etc) * Tofu (some brands even fortify theirs with extra) * Fortified cereals (oatmeal, grits, rice, some pastas) * Dried beans * Nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds in particular) * Dried fruits (apricots, raisins, dates, prunes, figs)

Be sure to follow up with your doctor to monitor your iron and blood levels to determine your treatment level.

Black couples should be tested, because about 1 in 12 black Americans carry sickle-cell trait. A person with sickle-cell trait has a 50/50 chance of passing it to their offspring.

If both parents have sickle-cell trait, then there's a 1 in 4 chance their child could wind up with full-blown sickle cell anemia, which is associated with a significantly reduced life expectancy (maybe 50 years vs. 70-ish for those without it).

The trait is also reasonably common among Hispanics, where about 1 in 100 are carriers.

Northern Europeans ... not so much. It turns out that sickle-cell trait is actually a good thing to have if you live where there's a lot of malaria; it makes you be less affected by the disease. Not a lot of malaria in northern Europe, so people whose ancestors are from there don't tend to carry the trait.

The most common cause of anemia in adults is iron deficiency.
