Q

Pathophysiology - sickle cell

A

Partial or complete replacement of normal Hgb with abnormal hemoglobin S (HgbS)
Hemoglobin in the RBCs takes on an elongated (“sickle”) shape
Sickled cells are rigid and obstruct capillary blood flow
Microscopic obstructions lead to engorgement and tissue ischemia
Hypoxia occurs and causes sickling
Large tissue infarctions occur
Damaged tissues in organs lead to impaired function
Splenic sequestration
May require splenectomy at early age
Results in decreased immunity
