Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia A disease characterized by increased destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes) by the dog's own immune system, canine autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is one of the most common blood (hematologic) disorders affecting canines. Though much attention has been given recently to AIHA due to evidence linking the process of vaccinating with the manifestation of this sometimes life-threatening disease, immunization is only one potential cause for this condition. The following article provides a detailed explanation of AIHA in terms of the disease process, diagnosis and treatment, and explores factors that may play a role in the development of this disorder in the canine. The Blood: A Brief Overview The blood is considered an organ having its own complex and diverse development, structure and functions. Its unique form, cellular tissue suspended in fluid plasma, allows it to serve as a main distribution system throughout the body. Cellular tissues composing the blood include: the red blood cells, which provide oxygen to tissues of the body; the white blood cells, which prevent invasion of microorganisms or other foreign substances; the lymphocytes, which carry out immune surveillance; and the platelets, which are involved in keeping the components of the blood in balance. Remarkably, all of these cellular components originate from a common source called stem cells located in the bone marrow. These stem cells give rise to a mature colony of cells which as they continue to divide and mature undergo a series of changes, a process known as differentiation, and eventually develop into the specialized blood cells indicated above.

Extractions: Glad You Stopped By! My initial intention for building this site was in response to the numerous sites that seemed targeted for the medical profession. After viewing several of these sites, I wondered where the Sicklers were and why hadn't they built any sites? Then it dawned on me... I'm a Sickler and I haven't built a site! Although I'm not a medical professional, I hope this site can shed some light on Sickle Cell Anemia from a personal view. Page descriptions are below and I invite you to browse the entire site. Hopefully, we'll both learn something in the end! The Sickle Cell Forum Been looking for people, living with Sickle Cell anemia like you? The Sickle Cell Forum is the place to be!

AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA What Every Owner Of An AIHA Dog Needs To Know
Provides basic knowledge about autoimmune hemolytic anemia and the different drug treatment options.
http://www.geocities.com/aihadogs/

Extractions: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a serious, life threatening disease. This site was set up to help owners make informed decisions about the care of their pet. It is not intended to take the place of a veterinarian, only to provide information on treatment options available and basic information about the disease. It is important to realize that having an AIHA dog requires a TOTAL commitment. Not only will this disease require a lot of time, but the emotional and financial burden can be great. The medications can be quite expensive and added to the veterinarian bills, can become overwhelming. You will need to adjust your schedule around visits to the vet and administering medications. The financial burden and time limitation are insignificant compared to the emotional roller coaster you will be on. This is a disease that can be controlled, but there is no cure.

Extractions: Home Services Contact Links ... Chemotherapy Drugs Anemia Anemia is defined as lowering of red blood cells and disruption of their most important function carrying oxygen. In cancer patients, it may be mild to severe and may be attributable to a variety of causes. Severity of anemia may increase as the disease progresses. Causes: Reduced production of blood from bone marrow, which is normally due to suppression of bone marrow by the cancer. Some cancers produce substances with a direct negative impact on the bone marrow; other cancers can spread and occupy the bone marrow space and interfere with blood production. In most instances, treatment of cancer also harms the bone marrow. Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy may both cause anemia. Bleeding may occur in cancer patients and result in anemia. Blood loss could be directly from the cancer site, as in colon cancer where bleeding occurs inside the large bowel. It may also be due to other causes. Cancer treatment can cause lowering of platelets which can make patients prone to bleeding. Most common sites for this kind of bleeding are the stomach and bowels, under the skin, gums, in the urine, etc.

Extractions: Autor ¿QUÉ ES ANEMIA? Es la disminución de la hemoglobina , sustancia presente en los glóbulos rojos de la sangre los cuales se encargan de transportar el oxígeno a todos los tejidos del cuerpo. Esta disminución de la hemoglobina ocurre porque algo impide su formación, algo aumenta su destrucción o algo altera el número de globulos rojos circulando en la sangre. Si bien el valor no goza de total consenso se considera como anemia, en niños menores de cinco años, un valor de hemoglobina sérica menor a 11 gm% (ó gm/dl) . También es equivalente un valor de hematocrito menor de 33%.

Extractions: What is Sickle Cell Anemia? Sickle Cell is an inherited, chronic blood disease where the red blood cells become crescent shaped and function abnormally. When the blood cells become cresent/sickle shaped, they are unable to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to other cells. The Sickle Cell Disease results in anemia (low blood counts), episodes of pain and increased susceptibility to infections. Sickle Cell produces a chronic anemia which may become life-threatening when hemolytic crises (the breakdown of red blood cells) or aplastic crises (bone marrow fails to produce blood cells) occur. If repeated crises occurs, damage of the kidneys lungs , bone, liver , and central nervous system may result. Occasionaly, acute painful episodes may occur. These acute episodes may last hours to days affecting the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest.

Extractions: Fanconi Anemia is a rare and terminal genetic childhood disease that results in death due to Bone marrow failure. See Tucker's "Tucker Time!" photo page My baby boy Tucker's fatal Fanconi Anemia diagnosis totally devastated and encompassed my life with despair...Never have I experienced such a profound weeping of my soul... The only way I Knew that I was going to be able to break the paralyzing depression I was in, was to try to turn my despair into Hope . By devoting myself to "Taking Action" And doing all I can to offer help and resources to others dealing with this heartbreaking disease, and to provide up to date access to medical documentation for Doctors, researchers, medical students and anyone seeking knowlege on this very rare genetic childhood disease. I pray there is a "Miracle" behind the tragedy of this disease...for it is well documented that researchers world wide are learning more and more that equal to the extreme rareness of Fanconi Anemia is counter matched by concentrated properties and similarities that with continued research could unveil a cure for cancer and Leukemia as well. That truly would be a breakthrough for all mankind not just the rare several thousand Fanconi Anemia cases reported globally. The urgency of continued research is also why I created this Web Site to generate a comradery of Fundraising efforts, volunteers and contributions to The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund. I also donate 20% of my web site design fee to the Research Fund as well at my other site:

Extractions: THERE were 32 people in the conference room, mostly women and children. Six-year-old Tope, frail, dressed in pink, sat quietly beside her mother, on a wooden chair. She listened as the nurse spoke to them about what to do when the pain comes. "She is my firstborn," said her mother. "From the beginning she was always sick. I went to many churches, and they prayed over her. But she still got sick. Finally, I took her to the hospital. They tested her blood and found she was a 'sickler.'" At the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia in Benin City, Nigeria, Tope's mother learned that sickle-cell anemia is a disorder of the blood. Contrary to superstitious beliefs, it has nothing to do with witchcraft or spirits of the dead. Children inherit sickle-cell anemia from both parents. It is not contagious. There is no way you can catch the disorder from another person. Either you are born with it or you are not. Tope's mother also learned that while there is no cure, the symptoms can be treated. Sickle-cell anemia occurs mostly in those of African descent. Dr. I. U. Omoike, director of the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia, told

It usually involves adherence of the offending agent (parasite, drug, toxin, etc) to the surface of the rbc. The immune system wishes to attack this agent but manages to injure the rbc as well. Dogs with IMHA usually experience a sudden onset of clinical signs, including depression, lethargy, pale gums or conjunctiva, sometimes jaundice or a heart murmur and bruising. Vomiting or abdominal pain may be present. It is unusual for overt blood loss to occur, such as nose bleeds or excessive bleeding from a minor injury. Death can occur rapidly, even with appropriate treatment.
