Is Stem Cell Transplant Effective for Sickling Treatment?

Patient's Query

Stem cell transplant for sickling

Answered by Dr. Pradeep Mahajan

When red blood cells change shape and get stuck in the body, sickling occurs, which causes pain and infections. It is due to an error in your genetic makeup that you were born with. By providing new cells that create healthy blood, a stem cell transplant may correct this. Eventually, such a therapy could lower the frequency of sickling and improve overall well-being.

I have test creatine Its having less than 0.4 please suggest me anything required

Female | Srilekha

It's good that creatinine levels are below 0.4. Creatinine is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your blood. If it's too high, it can mean your kidneys aren't working well. Low creatinine levels can happen if someone has less muscle mass or is malnourished. Make sure you have a balanced diet and avoid a diet high in protein, also, be careful so as not to get dehydrated.

My uric acid test report 5.9 please tell me ok not ok

Male | 29

The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?

Female | 22

Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

I have tested my iron deficiency today and it was low so can i take "Astyfer-Z hematinic with amino acids vitamins and zinc liquid syrup" Which my father bought from a medical store and asked to take 10ml per day , is it okey to take it

Male | 21

Iron deficiency can cause you to have low energy, feel weak, and may lead to malfunctioning of the human body. This is due to the insufficient intake of iron-rich foods and blood loss. Aspyfer-Z syrup boosts iron levels in your body and contains iron, amino acids, B-group vitamins, and zinc. It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.

Uric acid crystals can be formed in the joints and cause inflammation and pain, particularly in the knee, and ankle joints. Zyloric tablets usually are prescribed to reduce uric acid levels but if they aren't working you may require a different treatment.
