solely for patients with anemia. EPO is naturally produced by the kidneys and is sensitive to the oxygen levels in the blood. When oxygen levels are too low, EPO is released and stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Often times a low oxygen level in the blood can indicate that a person has anemia, which is a “condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells…”

History and Background History and Background： Pernicious anemia, or can be called as B12 deficiency anemia, Addison’s anemia, Biermer’s anemia, or Addison-Biermer’s anemia, which is a human body issue that the human body can’t produce enough healthy red cells because lacking of Vitamin b12. Vitamin B12 is important element

The detection of clinically significant antibodies is a crucial step in pre-transfusion testing. There are more than 300 human blood groups, all of which can cause an incompatibility reaction. (Knight 2012) Exposure to incompatible blood groups can also lead to the production of alloantibodies. The two most clinically significant human blood groups are the ABO group and the Rh group. Both of these systems can cause severe and often fatal transfusion reactions, and in the case of the Rh group, due

autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (AIHA) has a prevalence of 17:100,000. Warm Autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (wAIHA) is a form of AIHA, where autoantibodies cause damage to the outer membrane of the red blood cell, via antigens, triggering the immunologic premature phagocytosis/death (haemolysis) of red blood cells. When the mortality rate of RBCs surpasses the capacity of the bone marrow to deliver more RBCs, anaemia occurs. In which case the following symptoms manifest in patients: A 35-year-old woman

SCD begins with a mutation of the genetic makeup of the hemoglobin, a protein contained by red blood cells (RBCs) that deliver oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin is made up of two alpha and two beta polypeptide chains made up of amino acids. Normal hemoglobin allows RBCs to take on a biconcave or doughnut like shape and is able to squeeze or alter its shape in order to travel through different sized blood vessels. Hemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen, is oxygenated in the lungs and delivers

abnormal blood culture results. Dr. Janathan A. Goroza was the doctor on call that day. He reported that Mr. Purgert was in the ER a few days earlier, and at this time he was complaining of tightness in his chest when he coughs. In addition he also reported having a 101 fever the day before this visit, however, now it is down to 99. Dr. Goroza ran tests on Mr. Purgerts blood and released him from the hospital. Mr. Purgert was asked to return to the hospital on November 8, 2014 because his blood cultures

This happens because hemochromatosis reduces the iron levels in macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells help fight and contain diseases. Also, macrophages usually

Sickle cell anemia affects a wide range of demographics, from young to old. However, there are specific groups of people who are likely more prone to this disease than any other group. This disease affects millions of people worldwide regardless of age, but it is particularly common amongst those who derive from specific regions of the world. Sickle cell anemia is most common in those whose ancestors are derived from the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Furthermore, other regions that are known to have
