is caused by mosquitoes that live in humid swamps. The thrive there and infect those that lived around the area. Humans were able to evolve to have a larger resistance to malaria. Haldane suggested that having the genetic tendency for sickle-cell anemia or thalassemia would make the chance of being infected by malaria, rarer. He was correct. But another trait was responsible for protection against malaria, G6PD deficiency. The mutation allows for more resistance. The environment was changing,…

proteins normally protect red blood cells from destruction by the complement. People with PNH are missing two important complement-regulating proteins. Due to this missing protein, the red blood cells are prematurely destroyed, which leads to hemolytic anemia. Hemolysis by the complement system leads to episodes of hemoglobin in the urine, which would then be considered hemoglobinuria. Hemoglobin is an iron-containing…

A person with a iron-deficiency anemia will have sumptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness, and pale skin. Iron is part of the hemoglobin that is found in red blood cells and also, myoglobin which is found in muscle cells. Hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells function…

In refractory cytopenia with unilineage dysplasia the number of one specific type of blood cell is minimal. The blood cells that there are not many of look unusual under a microscope. Refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts occur when there is a low number of red blood cells. The red blood cells that do exist have ringed sideroblasts. Ringed sideroblasts is an overabundance of iron. Two of the three types of blood cells are unusual in refractory…
