Sickle Cell is an inherited, chronic blood disease where the red blood cells become crescent shaped and function abnormally. When the blood cells become cresent/sickle shaped, they are unable to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to other cells. The Sickle Cell Disease results in anemia (low blood counts), episodes of pain and increased susceptibility to infections. Sickle Cell produces a chronic anemia which may become life-threatening when hemolytic crises (the breakdown of red blood cells) or aplastic crises (bone marrow fails to produce blood cells) occur. If repeated crises occurs, damage of the kidneys lungs , bone, liver , and central nervous system may result. Occasionaly, acute painful episodes may occur. These acute episodes may last hours to days affecting the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest. What makes the red blood cell become a sickle shape?

It usually involves adherence of the offending agent (parasite, drug, toxin, etc) to the surface of the rbc. The immune system wishes to attack this agent but manages to injure the rbc as well. Dogs with IMHA usually experience a sudden onset of clinical signs, including depression, lethargy, pale gums or conjunctiva, sometimes jaundice or a heart murmur and bruising. Vomiting or abdominal pain may be present. It is unusual for overt blood loss to occur, such as nose bleeds or excessive bleeding from a minor injury. Death can occur rapidly, even with appropriate treatment.

IMHA/AIHA Registry Submit information to a major veterinary college to research developing trends Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a serious, life threatening disease. This site was set up to help owners make informed decisions about the care of their pet. It is not intended to take the place of a veterinarian, only to provide information on treatment options available and basic information about the disease. It is important to realize that having an AIHA dog requires a TOTAL commitment. Not only will this disease require a lot of time, but the emotional and financial burden can be great. The medications can be quite expensive and added to the veterinarian bills, can become overwhelming. You will need to adjust your schedule around visits to the vet and administering medications. The financial burden and time limitation are insignificant compared to the emotional roller coaster you will be on. This is a disease that can be controlled, but there is no cure.

Vetinfo Canine Encyclopedia Feline Encyclopedia VetInfo Digest ... Your Turn Encyclopedia of Canine Veterinary Medical Information Anemia Anemia is the condition in which there are fewer red blood cells than normal. Hemolytic anemia describes the condition in which this loss of red blood cells occurs because the red cells break up (lyse). This can happen inside the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or outside of the blood vessel (extravascular hemolysis). Hemolytic anemia can occur for many reasons, including heat stroke, parasites, viral infections. toxins and other conditions. One of the things that can cause hemolytic anemia is immune system disease - in this case the disorder is known as immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). This is the term currently preferred for the condition formerly known as auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). The reason for the subtle name change is the recognition that much of the time the immune system really is attacking an invader it just happens to be one that is stuck on the red blood cell so both get destroyed. Anemia occurs for a number or reasons but they break down into two major categories. Either blood is not being made in the first place (nonregenerative anemia) or else it is being destroyed in some manner even though it is being made by the body. If the destruction outpaces the production, anemia occurs.

What is going on in the body? Hemoglobin helps red blood cells carry and deliver oxygen to the rest of the body. The amount of hemoglobin and number of red blood cells can be decreased by many different conditions. Anemia results in a decreased ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues of the body, which often causes symptoms. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Signs and symptoms depend on the cause of the anemia. Mild anemia may cause few or no symptoms. Common signs and symptoms include: paleness of the skin, inside of the mouth, and eyes, also called pallor fatigue or tiredness weakness reduced ability to exercise increased heart rate with activity an abnormal awareness of the heartbeat, called palpitations , which may be unusually hard or fast shortness of breath or breathlessness loss of appetite chest pain mental changes, including

Related topics: The Mystery of Ill Health Pestilence Will It Ever End? Knowledge Is the Best Defense BY AWAKE! CORRESPONDENT IN NIGERIA THERE were 32 people in the conference room, mostly women and children. Six-year-old Tope, frail, dressed in pink, sat quietly beside her mother, on a wooden chair. She listened as the nurse spoke to them about what to do when the pain comes. "She is my firstborn," said her mother. "From the beginning she was always sick. I went to many churches, and they prayed over her. But she still got sick. Finally, I took her to the hospital. They tested her blood and found she was a 'sickler.'" What Is It? At the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia in Benin City, Nigeria, Tope's mother learned that sickle-cell anemia is a disorder of the blood. Contrary to superstitious beliefs, it has nothing to do with witchcraft or spirits of the dead. Children inherit sickle-cell anemia from both parents. It is not contagious. There is no way you can catch the disorder from another person. Either you are born with it or you are not. Tope's mother also learned that while there is no cure, the symptoms can be treated. Sickle-cell anemia occurs mostly in those of African descent. Dr. I. U. Omoike, director of the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia, told

Hemoglobin helps red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. What causes anemia? There are many types of anemia, all with different causes: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). IDA is the most common type of anemia. IDA happens when you don't have enough iron in your body. You need iron to make hemoglobin. This can happen when you lose blood from problems like heavy periods, ulcers, colon polyps, or colon cancer. A diet that doesn't have enough iron in it can also cause IDA. Pregnancy can also cause IDA if there's not enough iron for the mother and fetus. You can get iron from foods like ground beef, clams, spinach, lentils, baked potato with skin, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Megaloblastic (or vitamin deficiency) anemia.

Anemic cats also have little stamina so they seem very listless or tired. Pale gingiva and lethargy make us want to perform some tests on blood to document anemia. There are several tests that are performed on the red blood cells. The most common test for anemia is the
