Amy‚ who is the four year old Caucasian female‚ in my opinion is at risk for the blood disorder of Iron Deficiency Anemia. Next is person at possible risk of a specific blood disorder is Marcus. Marcus is a five year old African American male with a parent that carries the trait of Sickle Cell Anemia. Therefore‚ the possible blood disorder he is at risk for is Sickle Cell Anemia. Last is Richard and his possible blood disorder he is at risk for is Thrombocytopenia. Each person has specific symptoms

Anemia Anemia is a common hematopoietic disorder in which a patient has a reduction in the total number of red blood cells and hemoglobin. The causes of anemia are decreased production of erythrocytes or blood loss‚ and increased destruction of erythrocytes (Huether & McCance‚ 2012). Anemia is classified into several types namely‚ pernicious anemia‚ folate deficiency anemia‚ sideroblastic anemia‚ chronic inflammatory anemia‚ and post-hemorrhagic anemia.

In the late 1960s‚ articles in medical journals documented the association between ice eating and anemia and its subsequent relief with iron treatment‚ although whether pica caused the anemia or the anemia caused pica remained indistinguishable. Ice eating in particular seems most closely tied to iron deficiency and seems to be most consistently amenable to iron therapy. The other forms of pica‚ however
