Anemia

Because sickle cell diseases are characterized by the rapid loss of red blood cells

Now because improving in health care services, they have around normal life expectancy

Anaemia is a sign which suggests that the the level of Haemoglobin in the circulating blood is low. It gives you a pale appearance, and will give rise to weakness, tiredness and dizzy spells. You will need to see your Doctor to investigate the cause of anaemia.

15000 people with sickle cell in the UK i think

Sickle cell anemia is an example of pleiotropy because the mutation in the hemoglobin gene affects multiple organ systems and physiological functions. Individuals with this condition not only experience anemia, but also suffer from pain crises, increased risk of infections, and complications in various organs like the lungs and kidneys. This single genetic mutation leads to diverse and far-reaching effects, illustrating how one gene can influence multiple traits and health outcomes.

anemia is lack of red blood cells sometimes caused by not enough iron in the blood. You can take iron pills or eat spinach, liver or red meat. basically anything which is Iron rich.

I would ask a doctor as they would know more.

It affects about 1 out of every 5,000 people but mostly African Americans. Since it basically has the body producing useless blood cells, it works the same on anyone who gets it.

The peripheral chemoreceptors (aortic arch and carotid bodies) are only responsive to the partial pressure of O2 in the blood not the oxygen content. Anaemia, due to low haemoglobin levels in the blood, results in low oxygen content while partial pressure of oxygen is still normal, thus the chemoreceptors won't respond

No Sickle Cell is not like Leukemia... I am not sure why people assume that. I can tell you why Hematology (blood Disorders) and Oncology (Cancer) are together in the medical field as Hem/Onc. Leukemia was the first cancer discovered because Leukemia is a cancer of the blood they put it with blood disorders. SN: Hem/Onc is the only field of medicine where if you want to treat cancer you are forced into treating blood disorders, or vice vera.

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.

what's biracial mean

there is no specific group of people can get this disease, but i can tell you that in some country you will find the majority of sick people accumulate in one region and that due to the marriage from the same place in this case the no. of sickle disease will increase in that particular area.

It is known as cyanacobalamine chemically. It is the only cobalt containing vitamin and is not present in fruits and vegetables. It is important for the functioning of the brain and the nervous system. It even helps in the production of red blood cells.
It's a injection people get when there sick

A deficiency of copper can lead to anemia.

The organs affected by anemia include the heart, and the brain due to lack of oxygen in the blood.

By running some blood-tests if you have symptoms that indicate you have the disease. Some of those symptoms are anemia, jaundice, pain in long bones, abdomen pain etc. One of those test is "sickle solubility test." If it is positive, you have sickle cell anemia, another one is electrophoresis.

The main difference is that Iron-Deficiency Anemia is caused by lack of iron, and therefore low haemaglobin levels. Pernicious anamia is caused by a lack of vitimin B12 which aids the production and growth of red blood cells, therefore lowering the haemaglobin level, and both would have a lowered hematocrit level.

Describe the effect that sickle cell anemia has on the sedimentation rate!

1 have o good hygiene

2 when brushing your teeth scrape your tongue gently too

3 eat healthy

4 don't sip too hot soup/liquid

5 don't put sharp objects in your mouth

6 don't lick dirty objects to avoid infection

7 avoid too spicy food

8 always gargle or rinse your mouth after eating

9 don't swallow inedible object esp chemicals

10 avoid tongue piercing as much as possible

Eatting foods high in iron (usually greens) will prevent anemia.

" My doctor told me that the reason I had been feeling so tired lately was due to having anemia."

The Indian population was using the iron utensils for ages. They never had the iron deficiency anaemia in the past. I have seen the age when the aluminium utensils were introduced in the India. I have seen the population getting impressed by the stainless steel utensils. When I tell my patients to use to iron utensils, they think that i am cracking a joke. I could not convince the single patient to use the iron utensils. The pots should not be cleaned before cooking. The rust of the previous day is more precious than the gold. So you do not use the iron utensils and you get the iron deficiency anaemia.
