Do crescent shaped blood cells give you cancer?
No, crescent-shaped blood cells are a characteristic of sickle cell disease, not cancer. Sickle cells can cause various complications by blocking blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, but they do not directly cause cancer.
What are abnormal crescent shaped BLOOD cell?
Abnormal crescent-shaped blood cells are known as sickle cells, which are characteristic of sickle cell disease. This genetic condition causes red blood cells to become rigid and curved, leading to blockages in blood vessels and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Sickle cell disease can result in pain, organ damage, and other serious complications.
What genetic disorder results in abnormally shaped blood?
Spherocytosis
How is the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood reduced by sickle-cell anaemia?
This occurs because a genetic mutation changes the shape of the red blood Cell from a normally flat disk to a curved or sickle shaped disk. This altered shape ends up restricting and reducing the normal passage - flow - of RBC's through the Capillaries.
