61. AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA: Lilli's Legacy A personal and comprehensive guide to canine AIHA, including supportive care and choosing a knowledgeable veterinarian. http://www.peppypaws.com/LillisLegacy.html

Lilli's Legacy A Tribute to Lilli Now at peace my body lies, but within these pages my spirit flies! Wanting Lilli to exist outside of my memory, Lilli's Legacy was prepared to both memorialize her and to guarantee that her death was not in vain. Lilli experienced a peracute onset of AutoImmune Hemolytic Anemia on August 1, 1999. Without delving into specifics, she exhibited persistant autoagglutination and symptoms of intravascular hemolysis. After exhausting almost all therapeutic options, Lilli succumbed on December 1, 1999. She was an absolute joy every minute of her life and not a day went by that I wasn't amazed by her intelligence, pureness of spirit and sweetness. The treacherous act Lilli's body played upon itself and the resulting emptyness in our home is overridden by our great memories of her. I feel so blessed to have been her Mom. Hoping to use the knowledge gained during our experience to benefit someone else, Lilli's Legacy summarizes information compiled from numerous articles and veterinary manuals. Please use this as supplemental information to help you make informed decisions while discussing your dog's care with your veterinarian. Table of Contents Autoimmunity Who gets AIHA?

62. New Hope For People With Sickle Cell Anemia (FDA Consumer Reprint) A recent clinical trial found that the drug Hydrea (hydroxyurea) significantlyreduced painful episodes in adults with a severe form of sickle cell anemia. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/496_sick.html

This article originally appeared in the May 1996 FDA Consumer and contains revisions made in December 1997 and February 1999. The article is no longer being updated. 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 Cell 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.

63. Supplemental Garlic: Cat Nutrition Facts From Feline Future Article on Heinz body anemia and hemolytic anemia caused by garlic, onions, shallots, and related plants, fed to cats. http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/garlic.php

Main Search Contact Legend ... go back Feline Nutrition Facts Garlic, Onions, and other members of the Lily family With today's trend of resorting to dietary modification and the addition of herbs and supplements into our meal-plan as a natural way of combating and preventing common human ailments, one should be very careful in how far the companion cat can be included in these recommendations. Many natural substances which aid human ailments may have an equally beneficial effect on the cat, but equally many can also have detrimental effects on the cat and her health. The use of garlic and other members of the Lily family such as onions, shallots, and chives in the cat's diet is not advised. Ingestion of these plants in a raw, cooked, or dried form can lead to damage of the red blood cells, which are rejected by the body from the bloodstream, and a continued use of garlic or onions can eventually result in hemolytic anemia. If the anemia is not controlled by discontinuing the use of the plants, it can potentially lead to death. Less significant but important is that raw garlic and onions irritate the mouth, esophagus, and stomach and can cause or exacerbate ulcers. "An alkaloid, N-propyl disulphide, present in both cultivated and wild onions, chives, and garlic, affects the enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, in red blood cells that interferes with the hexose monophosphate pathway. Oxidation of hemoglobin results because there is either insufficient phosphate dehydrogenase or glutathione to protect the red blood cells from oxidative injury. The resulting formation of Heinz bodies within erythrocytes is characteristic of onion poisoning. (...)"

SCA is characterized by episodes of pain, chronic hemolytic anemia and severe infections, usually beginning in early childhood. SCA is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a point mutation in the hemoglobin beta gene ( HBB ) found on chromosome 11p15.4. Carrier frequency of HBB varies significantly around the world, with high rates associated with zones of high malaria incidence, since carriers are somewhat protected against malaria. About 8% of the African American population are carriers. A mutation in HBB results in the production of a structurally abnormal hemoglobin (Hb), called HbS. Hb is an oxygen carrying protein that gives red blood cells (RBC) their characteristic color. Under certain conditions, like low oxygen levels or high hemoglobin concentrations, in individuals who are homozygous for HbS, the abnormal HbS clusters together, distorting the RBCs into sickled shapes. These deformed and rigid RBCs become trapped within small blood vessels and block them, producing pain and eventually damaging organs.

Anemia falciforme ¿Qué es la anemia falciforme? La hemoglobina de los glóbulos rojos es la que lleva el oxígeno desde los pulmones a todas partes del cuerpo. La hemoglobina principal de los glóbulos rojos de quienes padecen anemia falciforme es diferente de la hemoglobina común. Los glóbulos rojos que contienen hemoglobina normal son redondos y flexibles. Pero cuando los glóbulos rojos de las personas afectadas con esta enfermedad liberan el oxígeno, la anomalía de la hemoglobina hace que las células se endurezcan y se deformen, a menudo hasta tener la forma de una letra C, como una hoz. Los glóbulos falciformes tienden a quedar atrapados y a ser destruidos en el hígado y en el bazo. Como consecuencia, se produce una falta de glóbulos rojos, o anemia, la cual, en casos graves, puede provocar palidez, dificultades respiratorias y cansancio. Hay factores, como el agrandamiento del bazo y algunas infecciones, que pueden empeorar la anemia al acelerar el proceso de destrucción de glóbulos rojos. Las infecciones también pueden provocar una reducción en la producción de glóbulos rojos. Existen varios tipos de anemia falciforme. Los tipos más comunes suelen denominarse SS (cuando el niño hereda dos genes de glóbulos falciformes; la "S" proviene del inglés "sickle"), SC (cuando hereda un gen de glóbulos falciformes y un gen de otro tipo anormal de hemoglobina llamado "C") y S con talasemia beta-cero (cuando hereda un gen de glóbulos falciformes y un gen de un tipo de talasemia, otro tipo de anemia hereditaria). Los efectos de la anemia falciforme varían enormemente de una persona a otra. Algunas personas afectadas, casi nunca parecen enfermarse, mientras otras necesitan ser hospitalizadas con frecuencia.

Esta célula toma la molécula de oxigeno al paso de la sangre por los pulmones y la transporta a tejidos distantes que dependen de oxigeno para la producción de energía y su supervivencia. Los glóbulos rojos no podrían hacer este trabajo sin la hemoglobina contenida en ellos: sustancia que captura oxigeno y es la que le da el color rojo característico a la sangre. Ocurre Anemia cuando el porcentaje de glóbulos rojos en la sangre o la concentración de hemoglobina cae por debajo de lo normal. Muchos de los síntomas de Anemia son ocasionados por el inadecuado aporte de oxigeno a los tejidos.

A uto I mmune H emolytic Anemia Information for Patients and Veterinarians What is AIHA Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells (RBC). A pet suffering with AIHA will have a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells within the blood. This is termed anemia. The normal range for the packed cell volume (PCV) or hematocrit is 37-55% (the ratio of the volume of packed red cells to the whole blood). AIHA is classified as a “primary” immune disease. No underlying cause of the immune destruction can be found after an exhaustive clinical and laboratory evaluation. A “secondary” disease is called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). IMHA refers to all anemias that occur when the immune system inadvertently destroys its own blood cells secondary to an immune attack directed against an underlying condition such as cancer, endocarditis, heartworm or by unidentifiable causes as in AIHA. What are the Symptoms of AIHA?
