#Repost @sicklecell101 --- Only about 16% of Americans know their sickle cell trait (SCT) status – this number can be even higher in low resourced countries. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ [Sickle Cell 102]: For the sickle cell nerds...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In most high resource countries, every individual undergoes a blood test within the first 24 hours of life that can diagnose a myriad of conditions including sickle cell disease and #sicklecell trait. Interestingly, this practice only started in the U.S. in every state in the year 2000.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ According to the CDC, most people with SCT do not have any symptoms of SCD although in extreme conditions like dehydration, high altitudes and low oxygen levels in the atmosphere, SCT carriers might experience complications. Some of these complications include exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), renal medullary carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer), proteinuria (blood in the urine) among many others. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Although the sickle cell mutation is thought to have originated from the equatorial parts of the world and served as a protective factor against malaria, every individual irrespective of race, ethnicity, or ancestry can be a sickle cell trait carrier. It is important for every individual to know their sickle cell trait status especially for those who were born in areas where newborn screenings weren’t utilized during their birth. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Listen to The Sickle Cell Podcast (Sickle Cell + Trait) to learn more about #sicklecelltrait! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #sicklecell101 #sicklecellawarenessmonth⁠⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CE-xyUWDYMP/?igshid=1vyaygedrtg38

September is sickle cell awareness month

Hematologist: You have Sickle Cell Trait (HbAS) and Beta Thalassemia. Both these disorders distort hemoglobin, reducing its ability to bind to and carry oxygen around the body.

Me: Is that why I'm chronically tired and frequently feel out of breath after simple exercises like climbing stairs?

Hematologist: *looks at O2 monitor* well your stats are good so there's no reason to believe hypoxia is making you tired. My daughter has beta thal and she's fine.

Me: oh ok.

*a year later during a formal endurance test*

Trainer: everything came back pretty good. Your flexibility and strength is excellent compared to your age and sex group. But your VO2 (measurement of how much oxygen your body uses during aerobic exercise) was well below normal compared to your peers. You can combat this by doing regular aerobic exercise like biking, running, hiking....

Me: Nah my man I just have shitty blood. Biking won't fix that.
