Anemia

Junk food is bad for you because it's not healthy. Your body uses food and liquid as fuel. Eating junk food is like putting a bad fuel into your body. It's okay to eat a little bit of junk food once in a while, but eating a lot is going to cause problems. The body has to work extra hard and junk food causes a lot of bad things. You get more tired, and gain weight, but exercising and eating other healthy stuff well be fine!

Black people have a genetic predisposition to sickle cell anemia. Recently there has been progress made in curing this horrible disease.

Sickle-cell disease, usually presenting in childhood, occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of tropical and sub-tropical regions where malaria is or was common. One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene, because in areas where malaria is common, there is a survival value in carrying only a single sickle-cell gene . Those with only one of the two alleles of the sickle-cell disease are more resistant to malaria, since the infestation of the malaria plasmodium is halted by the sickling of the cells which it infests.

The prevalence of the disease in the United States is approximately 1 in 5,000, mostly affecting African Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.

I'm guessing you meant sickle cell anemia. You already said that it's recessive, which means that both parents have to be carriers for it to be passed on to their children. If both parents carry the gene, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of having an affected offspring, 2 in 4 chances of having offsprings which carry the disease, and 1 in 4 of the child being unaffected (check out how to draw a punnet square). If one parent is a carrier and the other one is healthy, then you have a 50% chance of having an offspring who carries the disease, but none of your offsprings will be affected. Hope this helps

Sickle cell disease is important because it is a genetic disorder that affects the shape of red blood cells, leading to pain, anemia, and organ damage. It predominantly affects people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Indian descent. Early diagnosis and proper management are crucial to prevent complications and improve quality of life for individuals with sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell anemia was first described in the medical literature in 1910 by Dr. James B. Herrick, who identified the unique sickle-shaped red blood cells in a patient of African descent. The genetic basis of the disease was later elucidated by Dr. Linus Pauling in the 1940s.

People who inherit one sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait. This means they carry the gene but do not typically have symptoms of sickle cell disease. It is important for individuals with sickle cell trait to be aware of their status for proper medical management and genetic counseling.

Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families in which red blood cells are an abnormal crescent shape. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder of the erythrocytes (Red blood cells). It causes their normal biconcave shape to be replaced with that of a sickle or crescent. People with this disease have problems transporting oxygen throughout their bodies, as a result of this, they become fatigued easily and have rapid heart rates even when resting.

It has to do with your genitic make up. You don't have sickle cell anemia because you only have 1 of the traits on your beta hemoglobin gene. People with sickle cell anemia have two.Most of the time peolple with sickle cell trait display much milder symptoms.

It is more prevolent in African Americans and woman should be monitored during pregnancy.

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.

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).

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.

iron

A lower blood count due to a bad diet.

There are certain nutritional deficiencies which account for anemia. Vitamin B12 in particular.

Foods with fats, unhealthy foods and foods that has no energy.

The Greek word hamia meant blood. The prefix an- (without) formed the word anaimia.

Alcohol dehydrates you. Dehydration is a precipitating factor of sickle cell crises.

This, my friend, is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

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.

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