Sickle-cell anaemia with crisis - what does this mean
Sickle-cell anaemia with crisis is a condition caused by a genetic mutation in the haemoglobin molecule. this mutation causes red blood cells to take on a sickle shape, leading to a decrease in the cells' ability to carry oxygen. during a crisis, the sickled cells become stuck in small blood vessels, causing blockages and tissue damage, and leading to extreme pain, organ failure, and even death if not treated.
What happens during the disease - sickle-cell anaemia with crisis
Sickle-cell anaemia with crisis is caused by a genetic mutation of the haemoglobin gene that results in the production of abnormal haemoglobin molecules, known as haemoglobin s. these molecules form into long, rigid rods when exposed to low oxygen levels, causing red blood cells to become rigid and assume a sickle shape. this can lead to red cell destruction, occlusion of small blood vessels, and a lack of oxygen delivery to tissues, resulting in pain and organ damage during a crisis.
