Hemolytic anemia

disorders is sickle cell diseases with sickle cell anemia being the most dangerous (Addis, 2010). Sickle cell anemia is characterized into the group of sickle cell diseases. The phenotype number for sickle cell anemia is #603903 on the HBB gene/ locus (OMIM, 2014). Sickle cell anemia can also be known as HbS disease, hemoglobin S disease, and hemoglobin SS disease (NHLBI, 2012). Sickle cell anemia is identified by both its description and…

had to be in optimal physical condition going into my senior season. After 8 months of offseason conditioning, countless hours in the gym, and diet dedication the season came around with terrible timing. My anemia began another episode, but far more severe than ever. In July 2016 I had a hemolytic attack on the practice field. Such a condition is described as a rapid destruction of blood cells resulting in a small percentage of readily available oxygen circulating through my body; much less than…

Piroplasmosis, which is also, affects all equid species, including horses, donkeys, mules, and zebras (Friedhoff et al., 1990). Infection with either or both of these obligate, intra-erythrocytic organisms can cause varying degrees of hemolytic anemia and associated systemic illness (fever, Jaundice, red urine, oedema, loss of appetite, weakness) (Knowles, 1988). The taxonomy of B. equi remains controversial, based in part on finding an extra-erythrocytic stage within equine lymphocyte…

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that affects red blood cells. The sickle cell gene inherited form both parents causes the production of structurally abnormal hemoglobin, clinical known as hemoglobin S, which cluster together, causing red blood cells to become rigid and develop a crescent shape. These sickled cells become trapped in small blood vessel and block them, reducing blood and oxygen flow in many parts of the body, and leading to tissue and organ damage.…

Medical Surgical Nursing II: Sickle Cell Anemia-Case Study The following case study is about sickle cell anemia. This disease process is more common in those of African-American decent and simplified means that a patient’s blood cells are abnormally shaped which causes different manifestations as well as complications. There is no cure for sickle cell anemia/disease, but it is treatable. A potential complication is acute kidney injury (AKI), as mentioned in this case study as well. AKI is a…

Sickle Cell Anemia Dakoda Howard Indiana State University Pathophysiology 11/10/2016 Abstract The aim of this paper is to help individuals who do not understand or want to better their knowledge in Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA). SCA is commonly referred to as Sickle Cell Disease or SDA. The area of target is a general overview of that SCA, along with the various amounts of complications that can arise when someone has the disease. The paper will go over some of the more life threatening…
