Aplastic anemia

Back 53

Front 54

Back 54

Red blood cells are destroyed (-lytic) and bone marrow cannot compensate for their loss. this condition can be hereditary or acquired (after infection or chemo) or can occur when the immune system acts against normal red blood cells (autoimmune condition).

Front 55

Front 57

Sickle cell anemia

Back 57

Erythrocytes assume an abnormal Crescent or sickle shape; this "sickling" is due to the inheritance of an abnormal type of hemoglobin. the sickle sickle-shaped cells clump together causing clots that block blood vessels
