Hemoglobin

some treatment, however the average life expectancy of a patient will Sickle cell anemia is only 30 years. An inherited gene causes the hemoglobin in the blood to become misshaped. Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cells (RBC) that carries the oxygen to all of the body’s tissues and organs. This leads to inadequate amounts of oxygen to be carried on the hemoglobin, thus resulting in insufficient oxygenation for the patient. In order to fully understand Sickle cell anemia this paper will…

Macromolecules Macromolecules are complex carbon based molecules that all have different functions and monomers, there are four different groups of macromolecules that include, Nucleic Acids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids. Carbohydrates are polymers made from monosaccharides, which are simple sugars like glucose and fructose, these are used as a good source of energy. Monosaccharides, the monomer of carbohydrates, are just one sugar unit, they are the simplest form of carbohydrates, but…

containing a granular/reticulated look) increases additional numbers of immature red blood cells gather into the blood stream compensating for the decrease in the volume of blood. Reticulocyte is made up of eighty percent of a normal red blood cell’s hemoglobin and typically is expected to become a fully mature red blood cell within 24 hours (CNX, 2016). Describe the three phases of the normal blood-clotting process. Hemostasis is made up of three phases. The first stage consist of a platelet…

the United States, the gene predominantly affects black people of African decent. Sickle cell anemia is a disease where there is an inadequate number of healthy red blood cell throughout the body. A blood test can check for hemoglobin S — the defective form of hemoglobin that underlies sickle cell anemia. In the United States, this blood test is part of routine newborn screening done at the hospital. Mayo clinic Fix this part………..it may not be until the child is roughly 5 months of age…

Doctors or dentist performed surgeries for a long time, however some of the earliest uses of this was in trephining. According to the Science Museum The ancient Egyptians used this form of surgery to stop migraines. Trephining is cutting a hole into the skull to relieve pressure inside the skull. Today we are much more advanced and also know that surgery is not the only way to correct a problem. Sometimes we use things like physical therapy to remove a problem or aid somebody so that they do…

When I think of the emergency department (ED) I think of chaos, blood, trauma, and death. The emergency department experience was something I was not looking forward to. When I think about fields of nursing that I would like to try, the emergency department was not on the list. I am glad to report that this clinical experience has changed my feelings about working in the emergency room. The emergency department is a fast-paced environment where people are constantly moving. Many of the patients…

affects people from “Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, the Caribbean, Central America, Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, Greece, and Italy.” (Thompson, Ceja, Yang, 2012). In technical terms, sickle cell disease is where the sickle cells don’t have normal hemoglobin levels, which makes the red blood cells have the shape of moon crescents. This presents a problem for the body because the abnormally shaped red blood cells don’t distribute oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells efficiently. So those…

( high/ Low) ( 1 point) The normal hemocrit for males is 47 +- 5% and the patients hematocrit is 60% so it slightly high.. The hemoglobin is also slightly high at 19%, whereas the normal values for an adult male is 13-18mg/100 ml…

Biomolecules Biomolecules are organic compounds that are essential for life. These molecules have essential functions like as source of energy, materials for building new body mass such as muscles, and other molecules with essential functions like hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. These biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nuclei acids. Biomolecules are called polymers (large molecules) which are composed of smaller molecules known as monomers. 11.1 Elements…

Transferrin carries iron in the blood. Total iron-binding capacity measures the amount of the transferrin that is not carrying iron ("What Is Iron-Deficiency Anemia?," 2014). The hematocrit and hemoglobin levels will be decreased in iron deficiency anemia. The mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, serum ferritin, serum iron, and iron saturations levels will all be lower than normal. On the other hand in IDA, the transferrin or total iron binding capacity test will yield high…
