Blood dyscrasia is a pathological condition of the blood, usually involving disorders of the cellular elements of the blood.
Anemia is most often caused by poor function of the ileum and malabsorption of vitamin B12.
How can a child have sickle cell disease when their parents do not?
Sickle Cell Anemia is an autosomal recessive trait. This means that in order for the trait to be shown, both parents of an individual must carry at least one sickle cell gene. A child with this disorder can be born to parents who do not have the disorder because the parents must have at least one gene, but do not have two and therefore do not show the trait. Since it is recessive, in order to show the trait, you must have two of the genes.
Not unless the anemia is so severe that the animal is suffering from hypoxia.
Can you have both iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin B12 anemia?
i guess so but then it would be called deficiency anemia because you are lacking nutrition
Anemia isn't a contagious disease but it is a disease you can inherit from your family members.

Being a carrier of sickle cell anemia means?
sickle cell anemia is caused by a recessive allele. so for it to affect someone, it means that the person must have received both recessive alleles from their parents. Being a carrier means that you have the recessive allele from one of your parents, but you have a normal dominant allele from the other parent, that means you are not affected by it but you are carrying it.
What is the difference between amnesia and anemia?
While similar looking words they are quite different. Amnesia in its most basic form memory loss brought on by Brain Damage, Disease, or Psychological Trauma. Anemia is blood disorder that prevents efficient transfer of oxygen throughout the body.

Does Hashimoto's disease induce anemia or does anemia contribute to Hashimoto's disease?
There are different kinds or causes of anemia. What I've noticed about people with Hashimoto's, since it is an autoimmune condition, that they will develop antibodies to other tissues. This leads to a type of anemia that seems to come up quite often, that of a vitamin B12 deficiency anemia.
For these people I recommend taking a sublingual form of B12 which bypasses the stomach and enters the blood stream directly.
The problem is somehow related to a deficiency of Intrinsic Factor, produced by the stomach cells, which is like a carrier that pulls B12 from the intestines into the body. A lack of this Factor results in low B12 and anemia.
There is a product from Metagenics which has Intrinsic Factor mixed with B12 in a single tablet.

Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited blood disorder that causes the blood cells to change into a shape resembling a farmers sickle or a banana and makes blood flow difficult. There are many complications created by this disease. To learn more about the disease you could use this link: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Sca/SCA_Causes.html
Can mild thalassemia be a major thalassemia?
No. A minor form of the blood disorder thalassemia is when you inherited just one beta thalassemia gene, along with a normal beta-chain gene. This manifests as mild anaemia with a slight lowering of the hemoglobin level in the blood. No treatment is require.
By contrast, a thalassemia major, also known as Cooley's Disease, is when one is born with two genes for beta thalassemia and no normal beta-chain gene. This is a serious disorder.
