QUESTION 1 Describe the mechanism of the blood disease sickle cell anemia and how it affects its victims. QUESTION 2 How many polypeptides are contained in hemoglobin? QUESTION 3 What is the point mutation that causes sickle cell anemia? Where is it located? QUESTION 4 Explain the methods for detecting sickle cell in patients (specifically what we used in the lab). QUESTION 5 Describe the results of this experiment, including the appearance of the gel and the genotypes of the mother, father and child.

A 12-year-old female with known sickle cell disease presents to the emergency room in a sickle cell crisis. The patient is crying with pain and states that this is the third episode she has had in the last 9 months. Both parents are present and appear to be very anxious and teary-eyed. A diagnosis of acute sickle cell crisis was made. Appropriate therapeutic interventions were initiated by the APRN, and the patient's pain level decreased. She was then transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for observation and further management. Questions: 1. What is the pathophysiology of acute sickle cell disease crisis, and why is pain the predominant feature of acute crises? 2. Discuss the genetic basis for sickle cell disease.

A 19-year-old male was evaluated because he was found to be anemic when he attempted to donate blood at a local blood drive. During his medical history, he states that he is active in sports and feels healthy. He is of Iranian descent; his family immigrated to the US 15 years ago from Iran. A CBC was ordered. Laboratory Data RBC 5.80 x 10^12/L Hb 10.8 g/dL Hct 37.1% RDW 13.6% PLT 326 x 10^9/L WBC 6.4 x 10^9/L Differential Segmented neutrophils 58 % Lymphocytes 33 % Monocytes 9% Questions 1. Calculate the RBC indices: MCV & MCHC. 2. Based on the RBC indices, what would you expect the RBC morphology (i.e., size and color) to be on the patient's Wright-stained peripheral blood smear? Continued Scenario Based on the CBC data, the physician ordered the following laboratory tests: Serum ferritin 155 ug/L (RI: 20-300 ug/L) Serum iron 102 ug/dL (RI: 65-180 ug/dL) TIBC 343 ug/dL (RI: 250-450 ug/dL) HbA2 5.9% Questions 3. What is the morphologic classification of this patient's anemia? 4. Based on this patient's laboratory findings, what is the most likely anemia? Be Specific. 5. Based on your response to Q #4, what results would you expect for the following new CBC and Reticulocyte parameters? Increased, Decreased, or Normal HYPO% MICRO% CHr
