Lily, a 4-year-old Caucasian
female, has she been complaining of being tired all the time. She is pale and is
a picky eater. Her mother is a single mom with a small budget to feed a large
family. Lily eats only pasta, breads, and hot dogs, and she drinks only
artificial fruit punch. Lily has iron deficiency anemia.
Lily is an anemia this is a condition that develop when your blood lacks healthy red blood cells. Theses red blood cells are the main transporters for the organs to have oxygen. The red blood cells are also deficient in hemoglobin this will cause your body not to get enough of oxygen. The symptoms of anemia are fatigue this occurs because your body and organs are not getting enough of oxygen. (Medicine net; 2012)The most common known form of nutritional disorder in the world, iron deficiency results in anemia because iron is necessary to make hemoglobin. Children are the most risk factor Iron Deficiency also the most common form of anemia. Iron deficient is a component of the hemoglobin, the oxygen in your body carries protein in the blood for iron. Iron can be obtained in the diet that you chose the iron is recycle from old red blood cells.
Every baby that is born has about

Every baby that is born has about
500mg of iron in their body, and by
the time they reach adult life they should have 5000mg of iron in their body.
Every child need to absorb at least 1mg of iron per a day to keep up with the
need of their body growth. Some children along take about 10% of the iron that
comes from the food that they eat some of the children need to ingest at least
8-10mg of iron per day. The babies that are breast feed need less iron because
the iron in the breast milk is 3 times better. When children drink too much cow
milk it can cause iron deficiency because cow milk does not contain iron.
The common age for iron deficiency is 9 and 24 months of age. I think that all babies should have a screen test to see if they have iron deficiency at this age. Babies that are born prematurely should be tested earlier than normal babies. Babies and young children should be treated depend on the severity of the condition. Treatment includes change in their diet and medication and surgery. Children with severe iron deficiency anemia may have to be hospitalized and require a blood transfusion they can also be giving iron injection. The goal that has to be done in treating iron deficiency anemia is to treat the cause of it and restore the normal red blood cells.

and wants Davon screened for it.
Davon may have the sickle cell trait
Sickle cell trait is an inherited blood disorder disease that means that there is no cure for it. Children that have sickle cell traits inherit the sickle cell genes, one from each parent. This disease affects about 72000 people most of the people that are affects come from Africa. There are about 2 million American that carry this disease and about 1 in 12 African America has the trait. Screening for the sickle cells trait need to be done at birth most states has the screening done on newborns this screen will show if the newborns or infant have the sickle cells or carry the sickle cell traits. The symptoms of the sickle cell are very different depend on the person some people have severe symptoms and some people has mild symptom and some or often hospitalized for treatment. The major problem that you will have if you have sickle cells is trying to fight off infection. The most cause of death of children that has sickle cells is pneumonia.
The goal of treatment for sickle cell is to prevent infection and relieve of pain. Is to take the medication that is prescribed or have a blood transfusion this disease is most cause of death in newborn and infants.
Spencer has noted over the past several weeks that he is having more bruises, or ecchymosis, all over his body. After coughing this morning, he noticed tiny red marks all around his eyes. Spencer has thrombocytopenia.

Thrombocytopenia (mayo clinic; 2012) often occurs as a result of a separate
disorder, such as leukemia or an immune system problem, or as a medication side
effect. This disease may cause few symptom and signs. You have to complete a
blood test to determine the number of blood cells. Your doctor will look for
different signs like bleeding excessive of bruising or petchiae. Your platelets
can be so low that it can cause internal bleeding the normal blood platelet
that a person should have is between 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per micro
liter of circulating blood because the platelets only about 10 days that when
your body continually to renew your platelets in your bone marrow. If you have
an enlarger spleen it may harbor too many platelets that will cause the
decrease in the number of platelets to circulation. There many reason and
condition that could reduce the number of new platelets to produced. Infection,
HIV infection, this can also reduce your bone marrow ability to reproduce
platelets the other reason for low palates is heavy alcohol consumption
can also reduce platelet production.
