Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
Where is a Pedigree chart for sickle cell anemia?
An example pedigree chart for sickle-cell anaemia can be found using the related link below.
Individuals shaded black have the disease, individuals that are not shaded are unaffected, and individuals that are carriers are shown with diagonal lines (they are often shown with a single dot in the centre of their shape).
What type of doctor treats patients with high esr?
A rheumatologist is the type of doctor that typically treats patients with high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). A rheumatologist is an internal medicine physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. The rheumatologist will typically evaluate a patient's medical history, do a physical exam, and order diagnostic tests such as blood tests to diagnose the cause of a high ESR. Treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or physical therapy.
A lower blood count due to a bad diet.
There are certain nutritional deficiencies which account for anemia. Vitamin B12 in particular.
What are the food that is prohibited for patient who has anemia?
Foods with fats, unhealthy foods and foods that has no energy.
People who are heterozygous for sickle cell disease are generally healthy because?
Theyhave some normal hemoglobin in their red blood cells.
What is the root word of anemia?
The Greek word hamia meant blood. The prefix an- (without) formed the word anaimia.
iron deficiency anaemia with nomocytic macrocytic anaemia
Dangers of alcohol use in sickle cell disease?
Alcohol dehydrates you. Dehydration is a precipitating factor of sickle cell crises.
What is the average size of sickle cell anemia?
This, my friend, is one of the great mysteries of the universe.
What happens if you dont have enough iron?
I am presuming you mean you have low blood hemoglobin levels. This is irondeficiency anemia. This is a symptom, not a disease. It can be seen in pregnant women and in women with heavy bleeding during periods. It is also a problem that has to be dealt with quickly in person who have had a blood loss during trauma. A bleeding ulcer and blood in the stool will cause this. In older folks who gradually start feeling less strong, some attention has to to paid to occult bleeding in the GI tract. This can be for both benign and malignant reasons. The older the person, the more one has to rule out colonic polyps and/ or tumors. To sum it all up, one needs to know why one has a low haemoglobin before treating "low iron". Low blood hemoglobin will result in weakness, loss of energy and is hard on the heart ( more blood has to be pumped to get the same amount of oxygen to the cellular level). If all the above are ruled out as possibilities, use the web to find foods high in iron content and change your diet. Iron supplements can be used and are helpful, but only small amounts are actually absorbed and they can cause nausea and constipation.
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
What kind of food we should eat as sickle cell people in the world?
you can eat what we eat. Theres no difference. People w/out sickle cell eat regular
things.so can people w/ sickle cell
Is Myelophthisic anemia the same as leukoerythroblastic anemia?
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."
Why is frequency of sickle cell allele so much lower in the US than in Africa?
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
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.
