Thalassemia is Commonly Called Anemia

Thalassemia is basically a name for similar groups of inherited blood diseases that involve missing or abnormal genes regarding the protein in hemoglobin which is the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. I will discuss the different types of Thalassemia, how Thalassemia is diagnosed, and the treatments available. I will also discuss the complications and side effects of the treatments, the disease’s causes and effects, and how it is more dominant in some parts of the world than

formed red platelets. In Sickle cell disease, or SCD, the hemoglobin in red platelets gathers together. This in turn causes red platelets to get firm and C-formed. The most well-known signs and indications of SCD are anemia and pain through the body. Sickle Cell Disease occurs most commonly in individuals whose families descend from West Africa, South or Central America (particularly Panama), Caribbean islands, Mediterranean nations, (for example, Turkey, Greece, and Italy), India, and Saudi Arabia

SB+ Thalassemia, and Beta-Zero Thalassemia. Hemoglobin SS Disease also known as Sickle Cell Anemia is the most common form of Sickle Cell Disease. Sickle Cell Anemia occurs when the patient inherits two genes that are abnormal and causes the shape of the red blood cell to alter. Hemoglobin SC disease is known as a Hemoglobinopathy. Hemoglobinapathy is a hereditary condition involving the abnormal form of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin SB+ Thalassemia is said to be a variant form of Sickle Cell Anemia. The

This paper is written about the disease Alpha Thalassemia and it affects from the cellular to how the organism is impacted. It will cover the basis of the disease including inheritance and symptoms. Then, how and where the mutation occurs that causes the disease. The paper will then discuss the protein that is involved in the disease and how the mutation affects the production of the protein. The production can either be still functioning, completely shut down, slowed, or part of the protein could

formed during a process called hematopoiesis within the red bone marrow. The condition of these formed erythrocytes can attribute to many different blood disorders. More specifically a commonly known disorder known as anemia. Anemia is denoted as a condition where either the red blood cells have decreased significantly or the amount of hemoglobin within the cells has decreased, which in turn will decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches the tissues during transportation. Anemia comes in many different

children born will at least carry the sickle cell trait. In central Sudan the occurrence of the disease is very rampant as it is a multiethnic part of Sudan (Sabahaelzain & Hamamy, 2014). Finally another study on the presence of alpha thalassemia as well as HbS examined it importance in blacks.

Sickle Cell Disease, also known as SCD, is a group of genetic red blood cell disorders marked by abnormalities in the hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells made up of alpha and beta chains that helps to deliver oxygen throughout the body. Unlike normal red blood cells that have a circular, biconcave shape, sickle red blood cells have hemoglobin S which causes them to become stiff, sticky and shaped like sickles. Usually normal red blood cells would move smoothly through small blood

History In the 1900’s, Cardiologist Dr. James B. Herrick referred his patient, Walter Clement Noel, to Dr. Ernest Irons. The reason for referral was due to Noel’s complaints of pain episodes, followed by presenting symptoms of anemia. (Winter). Dr. Irons, an intern who worked for Herrick, observed Noel’s red blood cells under a microscope and saw that they were sickle shaped (Winter). Overview In 1972, Dr. James V. Neel, chairman and founder of the Department of Human Genetics at the University

Sickle Cell Disease Sickle Cell Disease or also widely known as Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic mutation caused in red blood cells destroys its own cells within and reshaping the cell wall resembling crescent or sickle shape; getting its name of the sickle cell disease. These sickled shaped cells attempt to perform its normal function of circulating oxygenated and deoxygenated RBC and gets lodged in small vessels causing vaso-occlusion. Where vaso-occlusive take effect, rest of the body is not receiving

Anemia What is anemia? Anemia is a medical condition characterized by low red blood cell count or mass (hemoglobin). This can be caused by blood loss, decreased production of red blood cells, or increased red cell destruction. Some common forms of anemia include iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, and liver disease. Patients with certain blood or bone marrow cancers may also develop anemia. Individuals with anemia often develop symptoms of when their hemoglobin is very low
