A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. There are fewer than 200,000 U.S. cases per year. 50% of patients with sickle cell disease survived beyond the fifth decade. A large proportion of those who died had no overt chronic organ failure but during an acute episode of pain, chest syndrome, or stroke. Early mortality was highest among patients whose disease was symptomatic. People with sickle cell disease are expected to live less than 50 years, also blood is chronically low in oxygen. Sickle cell disease is an inherited condition, nothing can be done to prevent sickle cell disease, but it is important to have an early diagnosis. The sickle shape of the cell clogs where the other cells travel.]]> 2018-05-31 13:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264790840 eladiorobertocepero https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264792811 1. Two genes for sickle hemoglobin must be inherited. It is a recessive trait.  
2. As is the sickle allele have a selective advantage over both of the hemoglobin AA and AS.
3. This disease is estimated to occur in 1 out of 500 African Americans and 1 out of 1,000 in Hispanic Americans.
4.They are not very high because if both parents have SCT it is 25% and if both parents have SCD then it is only 50%.
5. A blood test can check for S defective hemoglobin forms of blood cells and see if the person is diagnosed with Sickle.
6. Pain in the joints , sudden pain in the chest, fatigue, low oxygen, or malaise. ]]> 2018-05-31 14:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264792811 eladiorobertocepero https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264795344 7. The life expectancy is 42-48 years with some aging to 50 or even 54.
8. Narcotic, Chemotherapy , Vitamins,
Blood Transfusion, Patient-Controlled Analgesia are all types of treatments for this Disease. 
9. Daily headaches, Crucial Crisis, 
that come out of nowhere, etc.
10. They have certain exercise limitations because of the blood cells they have which carry less oxygen which makes it harder to work out.
11. Some organizations that can help a family cope with Sickle Cell are Sickle Cell Warriors, (sicklecellwarriors.com),Michigan Medicine , (www.med.umich.edu) , and Health Supervision , (pediatrics.appublications.org).
12.It is possible to get Blood transfusions, and bone marrow transplants but there is no real cure , just some treatments. ]]> 2018-05-31 14:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264795344 eladiorobertocepero https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264798821 Infections, Pain and Fatigue, Chest Pains, Dizziness, and Breakdown of normal Red Blood Cells. ]]> 2018-05-31 14:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264798821 eladiorobertocepero https://padlet.com/eladiorobertocepero/SickleCellElyChris/wish/264799241 Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation that affects Hemoglobin.
