Good morning Ma'am, Per Major Blount, your ESR elevated. It is a nonspecific test which indicates that there is some type of inflammatory process. Also, your albumin was also slightly elevated and your RBC count was slightly low, but no anemia was seen and neither of these numbers is a concern. Per Major Blount, recommends that you keep your consult for neurology for further evaluation. Thank you for using Micare! Pamela Hairston-Kirby, RN Houston

What is Sickle Cell Anemia? Sickle Cell disease is a blood disorder that is inherited. By inherited I mean passed down from parents to their children. Babies are usually born with sickle cell disease. When they inherit two abnormal genes, one from each parent. Abnormal genes cause the body’s red blood cells to change shape. This being the effect of having sickle cell disease.
1.Full blood counts: To assess the Hb for evidence of anemia, WBC for evidence of infection.
Plasma would carry white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets to the injury site, which is the scrape on the hand. Platelets would attach with each other, building a blockade to stop blood flow at the injury site. White blood cells would attack and kill foreign substances that enter through the injury site and try to hurt the body. Red blood cells would provide oxygen at the injury site to help heal the injury, having that platelets have created a blockade.
This is the term that describes a red blood cell that is of normal size. They usually also have hemoglobin content (medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Normocytic)
How are you? You gave a good response to this week's discussion question. In which you state, "There are four different types of anemia". I agree that there are four anemias that are commonly known. However, there are more than four hundred kinds of anemia (1). It is amazing how one illness can have so many manifestations. I hope this helped.

The carbon dioxide that is released from respiring tissues is removed from the tissues and transported to the lungs. Most of the carbon dioxide is transported in the form of hydrogencarbonate ions (HCO3-) (Kennedy and Sochacki, 2008). When CO2 diffuses into red blood cells, it reacts with water in the following reaction: CO2 + H2O ---------> H2CO3 The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and the product is carbonic acid.
disc shaped blood cells to take on a sickle shape. When this happens, the blood
The clinical presentation of patients with aplastic anemia includes symptoms related to the decrease in bone marrow production of hematopoietic cells. Specific manifestations include pallor, headache, palpitations, dyspnea, fatigue, or ankle edema (Porth, 2015). Signs and symptoms of aplastic anemia may include nosebleeds and bleeding gums, frequent or prolonged infections, and pharyngeal ulcerations. Patients with aplastic anemia commonly present with symptoms of pallor, headache, palpitations, dyspnea, easy bruising and fatigue (Porth, 2015). Other symptoms include visual disturbance due to retinal hemorrhage, petechial rashes, SOB with exertion, dizziness (Porth, 2015). Patients with aplastic anemia also present with jaundice and evidence of clinical hepatitis (Porth, 2015). Obtaining work history, solvent exposure, as well as a family, environmental, and infectious disease history (Musser, 2006). The clinical presentation of
Mosquitoes are the sole environmental factors towards contracting sickle-cell anemia in areas with a humid or tropical climate. Humans with the heterozygote genotype has a lessened likelihood of contracting the diseases, which gives them a proper heterozygous
At first, I would like to say Taina not worry about getting dropped from the team since it should not happen. Even if she is a carrier of sickle cell anemia, the coach would not drop her nor the scholarship. Practice plans for sickle cell anemia carriers would change to less intensive, and the coach could teach them how to control the breath. Sickle Cell anemia is about Oxygen circulation in one’s body, so you should be fine if we can balance it after finding it. Sickle cell anemia is caused by genetic disorders of hemoglobin that is responsible to transport Oxygen to other parts of our body. Red blood cells of patients with this genetic disease become sickle-shaped when the oxygen concentration is low. Lack of O2 results all of the symptoms
Sickle Cell Anemia is a very serious disorder and people suffer from it every day. It is a genetic disorder that causes the hemoglobin in the red blood cell to distort and form into a sickle like shape. The name comes from the shape of the blood cell after it is mutated. A person who has sickle cell anemia got it from inheriting from the parents. It is the most common inherited disorder in the United States. It is also has four other names this disorder can go by HbS, Hemoglobin S Disease, SCD, and Sickle Cell .(https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov)the blood cell is formed wrong turning it into a sickle or crescent shape. Sickle cell is only a disorder. It can also be treated a lot of different ways.
The two main treatments for aplastic anemia are immunosuppression (IST) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT).
Anemia and bleeding disorders are common conditions that affect the human blood. Anemia involves a decrease in both hemoglobin concentration and the number of erythrocytes in the blood. As a result, the condition causes a decrease in the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity. On the other hand, bleeding disorders involve heavy and continuous loss of blood. They are often classified into coagulation disorders and platelet disorders. In the current study, two different cases of anemia and bleeding disorder were investigated.
