    http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/info/blood/diagnose/sickle-cell-anemia
    
    Extractions: Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin, the chemical substance which gives red blood cells their red color and carries oxygen to the tissues. In sickle cell anemia the abnormal hemoglobin (Hgb SS) makes the red cells rigid and distorted from the usual round shape into sickle shapes. At times, these stiff, crescent-shaped sickled red blood cells can plug up small blood vessels and decrease blood flow to various parts of the body. This leads to anemia and to periodic painful episodes. A painful episode can sometimes be referred to as a "crisis" we prefer not to use this unduly frightening word. This genetic disorder is a result of both parents passing a sickle gene to their child. The parents are said to be carriers or to have sickle trait. Sickle trait is not a disease by itself. Pain is the hallmark of sickle cell disease. Because of the nature of the disease, signs and symptoms may vary in frequency and severity. This disease can effect every major organ in the body (lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, heart, brain, intestines, bones, etc.). Symptoms such as painful swelling of the hands and/or feet (Dactylitis) can be seen as early as 4 months of age. Sometimes more serious complications develop, such as, strokes, difficulty breathing, or orthopedic problems.

News Releases Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin, the protein that gives red blood cells their red color and carries oxygen to the tissues. With sickle cell anemia, the abnormal hemoglobin makes the usually round red blood cells rigid and distorted into sickle, or crescent, shapes. At times, these stiff, crescent-shaped red blood cells can plug up small blood vessels and decrease blood flow to various parts of the body. This leads to anemia, unpredictable pain episodes, and sometimes, other serious medical complications. The experts at the Cincinnati Children's Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center provide care for all the routine problems and complications of sickle cell disease. In partnership with families and the community, we try to maximize the growth and development of each patient. Through medical treatment, psychological evaluation, social services, education, counseling, research and working collaboratively with families, we are dedicated to prolonging and improving the lives of our patients. Dr. Marilyn Gaston, the Sickle Cell Awareness Group, concerned parents and hospital administration established the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center (CSCC) at Cincinnati Children's in 1971. The center created one of the first newborn screening programs for sickle cell in the United States. Doctors at Cincinnati Children's performed the first bone marrow transplant to cure sickle cell disease. To prevent the complication of acute chest syndrome, researchers at Cincinnati Children's developed incentive spirometry, which is the standard of care across the country. The CSCC provides important leadership in the National Sickle Cell Disease Program and plays a significant role in advancing sickle cell disease research and patient care.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle-cell_anemia
    
    Extractions: Sickle-shaped red blood cells Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder in which red blood cells may change shape under certain circumstances. This causes the cells to become stuck in capillaries which deprives the downstream tissues of oxygen and causes ischemia and infarction . The disease usually occurs in periodic painful attacks, eventually leading to damage of internal organs, stroke , or anemia , and usually resulting in decreased lifespan. It is common in people from countries with a high incidence of malaria , and especially in West Africa , or in descendents from those people. The disease was originally called sickle-cell anemia but this name has fallen out of favor in medical contexts because anemia is not the only symptom of the disease. edit Patients have baseline anemia that varies in severity, with hemoglobin levels of 7-9 mg/dl typical. Often white blood cell counts are elevated simply due to marrow hyperactivity. Reticulocyte counts are elevated, reflecting new red blood cells replacing the rapidly cleared older cells - red blood cell life span is markedly reduced in this disease. edit Vasoocclusive crises are caused by sickled red blood cells that obstruct capillaries and restrict bloodflow to an organ, resulting in

    A recent clinical trial found that the drug Hydrea (hydroxyurea) significantly reduced painful episodes in adults with a severe form of sickle cell anemia.

    Extractions: The version below is from a reprint of the original article and contains revisions made in December 1997 and February 1999. New Hope for People with Sickle Cell Anemia by Eleanor Mayfield In tropical regions of the world where the parasite-borne disease malaria is prevalent, people with a single copy of a particular genetic mutation have a survival advantage. Over time, people from these regions have migrated, had children, and in some cases married each other. Some of their children inherit two copies of the mutation. While inheriting one copy of the mutation confers a benefit, inheriting two copies is a tragedy. Children born with two copies of the genetic mutation have sickle cell anemia, a painful disease that affects the red blood cells and is curable only in rare instances. In February 1998, the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Droxia (hydroxyurea) for reducing painful episodes in adults with a severe form of sickle cell anemia. The drug doesn't cure the disease. Hydroxyurea also is approved under the name Hydrea for treating certain cancers. Genetic Defect Changes Cel Shape The genetic defect that causes sickle cell anemia affects hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells. Hemoglobin's job is to carry oxygen to all the cells and tissues of the body. Red blood cells that contain normal hemoglobin (such as the one pictured top right) are soft and round. Their soft texture enables them to squeeze through the body's small blood vessels.

    Extractions: Sickle cell anemia affects the red blood cells . Normal red blood cells are smooth and round like doughnuts. They move easily through blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells become hard, sticky, and shaped like sickles or crescents. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small blood vessels, they tend to get stuck and block the flow of blood. This can cause pain, damage, and a low blood count or anemia. Anemia is a shortage of red blood cells in your blood. In sickle cell anemia, this shortage of red blood cells occurs because sickle cells do not last very long. It is hard for your body to make new red blood cells fast enough to keep up. Normal red blood cells last about 120 days in the bloodstream. Sickle cells die after only about 10 to 20 days.

    Extractions: This is sickle cell anemia in sickle cell crisis. The abnormal hemoglobin SS is prone to crystallization when oxygen tension is low, and the RBC's change shape to long, thin sickle forms that sludge in capillaries, further decreasing blood flow and oxygen tension. Persons with sickle cell trait (Hemoglobin AS) are much less likely to have this happen.

    http://www.medicinenet.com/sickle_cell/article.htm
    
    Extractions: Sickle cell anemia (sickle cell disease) is a disorder of the blood caused by an inherited abnormal hemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein within the red blood cells). The abnormal hemoglobin causes distorted (sickled) red blood cells. The sickled red blood cells are fragile and prone to rupture. When the number of red blood cells decreases from rupture (hemolysis), anemia is the result. This condition is referred to as sickle cell anemia. The irregular sickled cells can also block blood vessels causing tissue and organ damage and pain. Sickle cell anemia is one of the most common inherited blood anemias. The disease primarily affects Africans and African Americans. It is estimated that in the United States, some 50,000 African Americans are afflicted with the most severe form of sickle cell anemia. Overall, current estimates are that one in 1,875 U.S. African American is affected with sickle cell anemia.

    Extractions: Sickle Cell Anemia What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Sickle cell anemia is most common in people whose ancestors came from parts of Africa, Saudi Arabia, India and the Mediterranean region. To have a fully developed case of sickle cell anemia, one gene for the illness must be inherited from both parents. When a person inherits only one sickle cell gene from one parent, that person is said to have sickle cell "trait" rather than sickle cell anemia. People with sickle cell trait usually have no symptoms of sickle cell anemia, but they can pass the gene for sickle cell hemoglobin to their children. Health experts estimate that approximately 2 million people in the United States currently carry the sickle cell trait, while another 72,000 have full-blown sickle cell anemia. Right now, about one of every 500 African-American children, and one of every 1,100 to 1,400 Hispanic-American children, are born with sickle cell anemia.

Patients in this study will not receive experimental therapy, but will be given standard medical care. Patients who meet the medical criteria for another NIH protocol may be offered participation in that study, but are not obligated to enroll in it. Patients 5 years of age and older with known or suspected sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait or another anemia or red blood cell disorder such as thalassemia may be eligible for this study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center as an inpatient or outpatient for evaluation and treatment. In addition to a physical examination, evaluation may include the following types of tests and procedures: - Routine blood and urine tests, including a 24-hour urine collection
