Sickle Cell Anemia

What's the best thing about Switzerland?

Prognosis

Symptoms

Symptoms:

Some symptoms as the result of Sickle Cell Anemia can be general pain, swelling of the joints, and anemia of the blood. Blood blockage in the spleen and liver is possible, along with jaundice.

Prognosis:

With sickle cell anemia, the person diagnosed with it should expect some health prolems to follow in the next few years, along with pain and vision problems. Death could result from this illness as a result of no treatment.

Treatment

Genetic

Cause

Treatment:

To treat this disease, antibiotics, pain medications, and different disease modifying agents such as hydroxyurea can be used to treat the symptoms. In more advanced cases, stem cell and bone marrow transplants can be done to cure Sickle Cell Anemia, but it is very risky.

Genetic Cause:

The genetic cause of Sickle Cell Anemia is the result of the defective HBB gene. This gene accounts for creating beta-globin, and the result of a defective gene leads to the change of beta-globin. For many cases, Sickle Cell Anemia inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that both parents carry a part of the defective gene but don’t know it.

I don't know, but the flag is a big plus.
