► THIS VIDEO will give you a comprehensive overview of Hemoglobin SS Disease, a classic presentation of sickle cell disease. 🩸💊
One of the key aspects to understand is the vaso-occlusive pain crisis, a common occurrence in patients with hemoglobin SS disease. These individuals often experience excruciating pain, often requiring high doses of morphine for relief. However, this can lead to potential addiction issues, making it crucial to differentiate between pain crises and non-pain crises. 🤕💉
Moreover, individuals with sickle cell disease are at an increased risk of stroke, even in childhood. The sickled cells can cause microvascular trauma, triggering a hypercoagulable cascade, emphasizing the importance of identifying such patients. 🧠❌
Additionally, Hemoglobin SS Disease can lead to complications such as splenic sequestration, acute chest syndrome, myocardial dysfunction, priapism, aplastic crisis, and osteomyelitis. These complications can be life-threatening and challenging to manage. 🏥🚨
Patients may also develop chronic conditions like avascular necrosis of joints, cholecystitis, hearing loss, leg ulcers, retinopathy, renal failure, liver cirrhosis, and pulmonary hypertension over time. Understanding these potential complications is essential for medical students and healthcare professionals. 📚👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
