Sickle cell anemia is a type of anemia in which red blood cells become sickle shaped due to deficiency of oxygen and blocks the blood vessels . Metabolic acidosis occur in sickle cell anemia and platelet count decrease in splenic sequestration.
Pathophysiology :-
Deoxygenation leads to polymerization of hemoglobin . It leads to sickling of red blood cells causing endothelial damage,which further leads to vasoconstriction ,organ ischemia and end organ damage .
Risk factor :-
- low oxygen tension
- infection
- dehydration
- acidosis
- concomitant disease like sarcoidosis, herpes etc
- extreme physical exercise
- alcohol
- pregnancy
- physiological stress
- cold weather
Complications :-
-avascular necrosis
- pulmonary artery hypertension
- sickle nephropathy
- ocular disease
- iron overload
- leg ulcers
- stroke
- acute chest syndrome
- chronic hemolytic anemia
- splenic sequestration
Signs and symptoms :-
- rapid heart rate
- breathlessness
- delayed growth and puberty
- jaundice
- fatigue
- attacks of abdominal pain
-vomiting
- joint pain
- hematuria
- excessive thirst
- chest pain
- decreased fertility
- priapism
Treatment :-
The main four treatment options are :-
- blood transfusion
- drug treatment
- gene therapy
- blood and marrow stem cell transplantation
Treating strategies are :-
- management of vaso- occlusive crisis by providing oxygen .
- management of chronic pain syndrome by providing analgesics.
- management of chronic hemolytic anemia.
- prevention of infections and treating infection with antibiotics.
- management of complications .
- prevention of stroke , detection and treating pulmonary hypertension.

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule. Recall that hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red blood cells. The mutation causes these red blood cells to become stiff & sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels, causing pain and increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart & lungs, and other conditions. Analyze...
Which of the following statements about sickle cell anemia is INCORRECT? Select one: a. Prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anemia can be made by examination of DNA from fetal cells obtained by amniocentesis. b. Red cells have a shorter than normal survival in the circulation c. No treatment is available. d. Newborn infants homozygous for the sickle cell gene have few symptoms because their red cells also contain a large amount of fetal hemoglobin as well as sickle cell hemoglobin...
Sickle-cell Anemia Study Sickle-cell anemia or Sickle-cell disease, is a hereditary disorder. characterized by aryabnormality in the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in erythrocytes. Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. The sickle cell defect is a mutation of a single nucleotide of the hemoglobin B gene, which results in glutamic acid being substituted by a different amino acid at position 6. Hemoglobin with this mutation is referred to as Hbs, as opposed to the normal hemoglobin HbA....
A woman has a father with sickle-cell anemia, which is an autosomal recessive trait. She does not have symptoms of sickle-cell anemia. What is her genotype? (0.5 marks) b) She is about to start a family, and she knows that her partner’s mother has sickle-cell anemia, but he does not have the disease himself. What is the probability of them having a child with sickle-cell anemia? Demonstrate this using a Punnett square. (2.5 marks) c) If they have three children,...

How will you select your sample population and give the rationale behind your decision Please type the solution on the keyboard so that I can copy and paste Q. No 1. Answer : Sickle cell disease : It is defined as it is a chronic heriditory form of Anemia, in which the red blood...
True or False: 1.) Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder 2.) If the person has just one allele (trait) of sickle cell disorder, it is enough to develop the symptoms 3.) Aggregated sickle cells may block blood flow in blood vessels 4.) Codocytes are typical both for sickle cell anemia 5.) Sickle cell disease is characterized by polychromatic erythrocytes
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to take on an abnormal, crescent shape. This inherited disorder is the result of a single base change from A to T. This changes the amino acid glutamic acid to valine at position six of the hemoglobin protein. Based on this information, sickle cell anemia results from a(n) ________ mutation. substitution mutation deletion mutation insertion mutation silent mutation
