Is Stem Cell Transplant Effective for Sickling Treatment?

Stem cell transplant for sickling

1 Answer

Answered on 30th May '24

When red blood cells change shape and get stuck in the body, sickling occurs, which causes pain and infections. It is due to an error in your genetic makeup that you were born with. By providing new cells that create healthy blood, a stem cell transplant may correct this. Eventually, such a therapy could lower the frequency of sickling and improve overall well-being.

I have test creatine Its having less than 0.4 please suggest me anything required

Female | Srilekha

It's good that creatinine levels are below 0.4. Creatinine is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your blood. If it's too high, it can mean your kidneys aren't working well. Low creatinine levels can happen if someone has less muscle mass or is malnourished. Make sure you have a balanced diet and avoid a diet high in protein, also, be careful so as not to get dehydrated.

CBC report is normal Dengue and malaria test Both negative CRP 34.1 Very high Doctor prescribed me, some medicines Relating to fever and pain killer I am feeling night sweats.

Male | 28

You are experiencing a hard time caused by that fever and high CRP level. Night sweats are one way for your body to show that it is fighting an infection. A high CRP may be a sign of inflammation in your body. Your doctor prescribing you fever medicines and painkillers is the correct way. Do not forget to rest properly, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your doctor's orders.

My uric acid test report 5.9 please tell me ok not ok

Male | 29

The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?

Female | 22

Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

I had an I pill last month and my blood tests today are High platelet counts Wbc count -7.95 Gran %-76.5 Platelets -141 PDW-SD-19.7 What does this mean

Female | 19

Your blood test shows some changes. A high platelet level might indicate swelling or infection. With a WBC count of 7.95, your body's defense system is active. The Gran% tells about certain white blood cells, which increase when there's an infection. Your platelet count of 141 is normal, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. It seems your body might be fighting off an illness, so it's wise to discuss these results with your doctor for further advice.

I have tested my iron deficiency today and it was low so can i take "Astyfer-Z hematinic with amino acids vitamins and zinc liquid syrup" Which my father bought from a medical store and asked to take 10ml per day , is it okey to take it

Male | 21

Iron deficiency can cause you to have low energy, feel weak, and may lead to malfunctioning of the human body. This is due to the insufficient intake of iron-rich foods and blood loss. Aspyfer-Z syrup boosts iron levels in your body and contains iron, amino acids, B-group vitamins, and zinc. It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.

It's great to know that your anti-HIV value is 0.229. This shows that you have a certain amount of HIV antibodies that your body has made but not many. It could mean you were infected recently or just exposed without getting sick. Keep an eye on it with frequent testing.

Male | 38

Uric acid crystals can be formed in the joints and cause inflammation and pain, particularly in the knee, and ankle joints. Zyloric tablets usually are prescribed to reduce uric acid levels but if they aren't working you may require a different treatment. Follow up with your doctor to find other ways to control your gout and alleviate your symptoms.
