Sickle cell Disease

Start SICKLE CELL DISEASE

SICKLE cell anemia is a disease, that is inherited by genetic abnormality of hemoglobin they Oxygen-carrying protein found in the red blood cells which shape the red blood cells and makes excessive eradication of the abnormal red blood cell.

CAUSES OF ANEMIA

The cause of anemia are numerous but can be classified into three sections as it may be

✓ inadequate production of red blood cells

✓excessive destruction of red blood cells

✓ loss of blood or excessive bleeding

Let me break down this points into segment that can be understood by a layman

Firstly inadequate production of red blood cells. anemia can be caused, when they body cannot produce enough red blood cells then the formation of blood cells are numerous nutrients needed for the red blood cell production.

The most requirement like vitamin b vitamin B12 and folate and folic acid, but the body the body needs iron and trance trans amount of copper as well to balance the hormones for erythropoietin itessential in the stimulation of the red blood cells production and without the nutrients and hormones production of the red blood cells is a slow slow and deformed to the extent of being weak and inactive of oxygen in active of carrying oxygen in adequately

✓Chronic inflammatory disease may suppress red blood cell production in other circumstances the Bone marrow space may be invaded and replaced by leukemia, lymphoma or metastatic Cancer resulting in decreased production of red blood cells

✓anaemia caused by excessive bleeding bleeding maybe sudden as may occur as a result of an injury or due to surgery technically due to abnormalities in the digest digestive or urinary tract or heavy menstrual. Terrible bleeding leads to low level of iron that leads to worsening anaemia or cause causes lack of iron and serious anaemia

✓Symptoms of Anemia

some people who have mild anemia particularly when it developed slowly it has no symptoms at all while other experience symptoms only during physical exertion mild anaemia often cause fatigue weak and paleness and more severe anaemia may cause faintness dizziness and makes him or her thirst sweating rapid breathing and pulse it can also cause painful lower leg cramps during exercise shortness of breath, chest pain, and low blood circulation in the legs for example Black tarry stools, blood in the urine or stool or coughing up blood and whites of the eyes.

Anaemia in older adults some of the disorders that cause anaemia are as such cancer including blood cancer such myelodysplasia and multiple myeloma this tend to happen among the older people and abnormal bleeding are most found in aged people.

Any person who have anemia has shorten the life expectancy unless God grace is in the life of the person.

Diagnosis of Anemia

Blood tests anemia are sometimes detected before the notice it

✓PRENETAL TESTING

✓Treatment of sickle cell disease

Treatments aimed at preventing crisis treatment of crisis and conditions that causes them

Treatment is aimed at

Controlling the anemia

Relieving the symptoms

Preventing the crisis

✓Preventing sickle cell crisis

people have to avoid activities that reduce the amount of oxygen in their blood and should seek medical attention for every minor illness such as viral infections typically children take penicillin by mouth from age 4 months till age 6 years

✓Controlling Anemia

people are being subjected to taking folic acid a vitamin that helps the body in producing new red blood cells

Blood Transfusion: the process exchanging or replacing new blood with the old one and May give a room to correct anemia

when I was a kid I usually ask the elderly want how possible can they remove the whole blood from a human being's body with respect to sickle cell disease but they told me that it's not possible to remove all the blood in a human being's body but rather to remove many pans of blood and then transfused in the new one bought for body of the sickle cell patients.

Unless through God intervention that all the blood can be transfused switch out and replace with transfusing in new ones that means the sickle patient will be for ever heal through God's supernatural power.

Drugs administy to the patient

Hydroxyurea Hydrea.
