no it dose not sickle cell anemia causes death only if African Americans

Pernicious anemia can be treated with injections of vitamin B12, and possibly with B12 vitamin pills. Pernicious anemia is a vitamin B12 deficiency disease, B12 is required to make healthy red blood cells and can normally be obtained from animal based foods, including, meats, fish, dairy products and eggs (but not plant foods), however, when people choose not to eat animal products, vegans for instance, they may suffer a B12 deficiency. Also, inadequate absorption can occur when there is an insufficient amount of a specific protein referred to as "intrinsic factor" in the body that is normally released by stomach cells.

Dyspnea is the medical term for shortness of breath. It can be a present symptom when one is having anemia because of the oxygen binding nature of our blood cells and being anemic means your blood cells have a deficiency.

No, tattoos will not effect the disease. Just be sure to take your regular antibiotics if needed to prevent any infections.

lots and lots of iron :)

Aneamia doesn't afffect your ciculatory system per se. It affects all the cells that make up your body and organs. They do not get enough oxygen to function.

It is a genetic disorder.

However...

It is also a protection against malaria.

For example, if a person were born in an area where malaria is present, he or she would likely die from the disease, unless he or she inherited 1 sickle cell gene.

Malaria viruses reproduce in the red blood cells. The parent virus invades a cell, and uses the cell as a host to grow more viruses.

With 1 sickle cell gene, malaria viruses that invade a red cell are quickly destroyed, since the red cell collapses, preventing the virus from reproducing.

But with 2 sickle cell genes, red cells collapse too easily; just a bruise can cause someone to become anemic when too many red cells collapse.

In the real world, people with no sickle cell genes died from malaria. People with 1 sickle cell gene survived. People with 2 sickle cell genes died from sickle cell anemia.

It was natures way of assuring that at least half of the population survive, but it is certainly a difficult thing to live with today, now that we can more easily treat malaria.

NONE.

IVe been having the same problem

The incidence of sickle cell disease is equal in both men and women.

However, it is believed that men who have the disease experience worse symptoms than women with the disease.

A possible reason for this is the role of oestrogen in the female body. Oestrogen helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide. Scientists believe that nitric oxide has a key role to play in reducing the symptoms of a sickle cell crisis as it dilates blood vessels, giving the sickle shaped cells more room to pass through the vessels, preventing blockages which is the cause of sickle cell crisis.

From my mom

A single sickle-cell gene protects against malaria. Two sickle-cell genes produce sickle-cell disease.

Megaloblastic (Macrocytic) Anemia. Basically the Red Blood Cells have a larger volume (MCV).

No. It arises due to point mutations (like A -> T).

medical therapy of aplastic anemia often includes short course of anti thymocyte globulin (ATG) or anti lymphocye globulin and several months of treatment with ciclosporin to modulate the immune system.mild chemotherapy with agents such as cyclophophamide and vincristine may also be effective.steroids are generally ineffective though are often used to combat serum sickness caused by ATG

Mothballs can kill someone with G6PD Deficiency in a matter of a few hours. As far as food goes... anything with soy in it, and any products made from soy (which there are many). ALL legumes (beans, peas, peanuts, etc.) are also contraindicated. Drugs... there are too many to list. The most complete database of drugs or food is at g6pdeficiency.org. You can type in any food or drug and find out what the contraindications are. You can also join the forum (for free of course) and ask any question you want. The forum members are knowledgeable and experienced on the most recent info regarding all aspects of G6PD. As evidenced by the comments in the forum, from people who have G6PDD, or who have lost friends and loved ones because of it, there is a lot of mis-information floating around the net, and in the medical world. People are sick and dying unnecessarily because of lack of accurate information about this enzymopathy.

A normal homozygous individual can't produce offspring with sickle cell anemia. Both parents must carry the trait to have an offspring with the illness.

Treatment for iron-deficiency anemia will depend on its cause and severity. Treatments may include dietary changes and supplements, medicines, and surgery.

Severe iron-deficiency anemia may require a blood transfusion, iron injections, or intravenous (IV) iron therapy. Treatment may need to be done in a hospital.

The goals of treating iron-deficiency anemia are to treat its underlying cause and restore normal levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, and iron.

Pernicious Anemia

If you were not born with this condition then you will not develop it during your life.

The condition is generally inherited as it is a genetic mutation. However, it is possible that the mutation could spontaneously happen in any baby.

The reason why this (sometimes fatal) condition has persisted in certain African populations is because it imparts a resistance to malaria.
