Sickle-Cell Disease

Sickle-Cell Anemia is fairly rare but serious; if you think you have thse symptoms, contact a doctor asap.

About 70,000 Americans have it. About 2 million carry the gene for it.

Id like to know this aswel. Does anyone know please?

You can prevent sickle cell disease by theres no way you can but if you have sickle cell disease you can get blood transfusions to stop most of the pain becasue you can get new blood cells instead of moon like shaped cells and then you will have easier blood flow and no pain because it wont clog anymore.

hemolytic anemia and bone marrow

That doctor has no idea what he is talking about. I have sickle cell and I 37, In the last four years I have started having seizure because of the pain medication they prescribed while I am in the hospital. Anyone with sickle cell wouldn't do things like that to add to the problems we already have to deal with. I also have a sister that's living with sickle cell and one that died from it, she had a seizure at eleven months old that took her life so I guess if your doctor is right that would mean she committed suicide at 11 months old. Hang in there and go find the answers you need maybe you need a new doctor. Hope this helps

yes because anyone can get that disease

sickle call anemia

Sickle cell disease is a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, which causes the hemoglobin and the cell to become elongated and look like a sickle rather than its normal disc shape.

282.61 is the code for SS disease without crisis, so it is not correct to use as a screening test.

V78.2 is the code for sickle cell disease or trait SCREENING.

Sickle Cell....... My son has been diagnosed with sickle cell trait. We are white and the doctors called it Sickle Cell Trait! hope this helps...

You tell them gently, and truthfully, in language they can understand. Children understand and accept things like that better than most adults give them credit for.

I have sickle cell and scapular necrosis occurred because the none in my joints became soft from the many crises I had. My teeth also was affected and severe decaying occurred. My dentist said it was because of the necrosis and sickle cell.

Degenerative

Sickle cell is common in people from tropical areas where malaria is prevalent. Malaria can not survive on blood cells that are sickle shaped, so when populations were being killed off by malaria, those with sickle cell were surviving and passing on the sickle cell gene.

Immunology

Sickle Cell disease is a genetic desease that often effect humans with and African background. It is a mutation that makes the read blood cells in our body to look different an have a abnormal form. These blood cells are shown to have a good effect on protecting the human body against malaria and other types of diseases and that's why the mutation is still common in Africa but the disease is recessive so both parents have to have the disease to pass it on to there child.

But the negative effects that are caused by this disease is that the spleen that are located on the top of the left kidney breaks down these unnormal blood cells and that couses a blood shortage in the body. Those unnormal blood cells also are lack oxygen. These two things are common and effects the organs and the whole system in our body.

it is safe to marry a person with sickle cell, provided that you are not a career of the trait.
