Anemia

cell disease (SCD) describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Individuals with SCD have irregular hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin, in their red blood cells (RBC). Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease of the RBCs. Typically red blood cells are formed like a circular shape. This gives them the adaptability to go through even the tiniest veins. Be that as it may, in individuals with sickle cell, the red blood cells have a strange curve shape. When shaped…

hemoglobin to sustain body tissues. The mutated shape makes it problematic for sickle cells to pass through narrow blood vessels. When capillaries become obstructed, a life-threatening condition called sickle cell crisis is to be expected. Sickle cell anemia is hereditary. It almost always affects African Americans and people of Mediterranean descent. A child who inherits the sickle cell gene from each parent will have the disease. A child who inherits the sickle cell gene from only one parent…

science and medicine drastically as it’s creation has allowed people to discover new viruses and view microorganisms which are unable to be seen by the naked eye. The microscope has also given us the opportunity to diagnose diseases such as cancer, anemia and due to the microscope’s magnification, it is also able to conduct tests such as the ‘Bone Marrow Test’. Bone Marrow Tests portray the health of the bone marrow and determine whether the bone marrow is creating enough red blood cells. The…
