Hemolytic anemia

In other words, anemia may be stimulated by malnutrition, family history of anemia, alcoholism, strict vegan diet, intestinal disorders that affect nutrient absorption of the body, exposure to toxic chemicals, anemia in women during childbearing years, race, and chronic diseases. Signs and Symptoms Fatigue and weakness are the signs of mild anemia. The other signs include pasty or sallow complexion or no color in the palms, gums, nails beds, and lining of eyelids. People who are weak, get…

over work in compensation for the lack of oxygen resulting in anemia. Anemia is noted when the amount of red blood cells in our body decreases, as well as reduction in the number of the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. The four classifications of anemia are, microcytic, macrocytic, normocytic, and hemolytic anemia. (Buttarro, Trybulski, Polgar Bailey, Sanberg-Cook 2013). The purpose of this discussion is to review microcytic anemia, which could be the cause of the decreased hemoglobin level in…

intestinal disorders, or excessive blood donation. Hookworm disease is another important factor in causation of anaemia due to chronic blood loss. The mean daily loss of blood from an Ancylostoma duodenal is 0.15 nil and Necator americans is 0.03ml. In rural areas, post partum haemorrhage on account of poor obstetric spaced pregnancies and prolonged periods of lactation deplete iron stores with each successive pregnancy and this is reflected in the high incidence of anaemia with higher parity.…

transmission and treatment methods. The information gathered for this paper was obtained from the work of various researchers and their findings on the disease and its effects on the various parts of the body. A review of Literature Sickle cell anemia is an inherited genetic blood disorder, which causes defects hemoglobin leading to the production of abnormal “sickle shaped” red blood cells.…

PHYSIOLOGICAL DIMENSION IMMUNE/DEFENSE MECHANISMS Age specific variations of growth and development From the Nursing care of infants and Children, specifies different immunizations that are recommended for adolescents. Adolescents that are 11 to 18 years of age should be administered the tetanus, diphtheria, acellular, and pertussis vaccine. The meningococcal vaccine should be administered to adolescents between the ages of 11 to 12 years old, as well get a booster before the age of 16.…

First, hematotoxicity is the study of blood and blood-forming tissues as a target organ for drugs or different chemicals. It is the toxic effect that the substance has on the properties or components of blood. Additionally, other factors to include when determining toxicity are stress, exercise, and ionizing radiation. Furthermore, blood and hematopoietic tissue are target organs for scrutiny and the study in preclinical and clinical safety evaluations. There are several methods that…

Thalassemia is known to be an inherited genetic blood disorder that results in mild to severe anemia due to the abnormal formation of hemoglobin. Thalassemia is inherited by either one or both parents. A mutation in either chromosome 11 (Deisserot et al, 1978) effect the synthesis of beta hemoglobin, whereas a mutation on chromosome 16 affect the synthesis of alpha hemoglobin(Deisserot et al, 1977). Hemoglobin is a tetramer made of two alpha chains and two beta chains (Cao et al, 2010). The…

Arterial diameter, diffusion distance, and proportion of wrapping were manually measured for vessel pairs that were matched in both the light micrographs and micro-CT images in a blinded manner. Artery-vein pairs were identified, matched in both micro-CT and light microscopy images, and then labelled. Measurements were first made for the artery-vein pairs in the light micrographs. Then, measurements were made for the artery-vein pairs in the micro-CT images. A total of 25 vessel pairs were…

physical loss of an individual’s soul. A vast majority of individuals experience death in different ways. In other words, death can come slowly and painfully, or quickly and painlessly. Three years ago, my cousin, Ollie Green, died of sickle cell anemia. Ollie’s life could be described as the process of baking a cake. When I received the news of his death, my perfectly prepared cake was now burnt and destroyed. A correlation of contradicting emotions suppressed my mind. Is this really the end?…

The average life expectancy for females with sickle cell anemia is 48 years. Since both my client’s parents has the sickle cell gene, 25 percent of infants with both parents having the gene will inherit it. Statistics showed that the intake of vitamins E and D, folate, calcium, and fiber as %DRI was lower for…
