sickle cell anemia
is an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder. The presence of abnormal hemoglobin (Hgb S) causes the red blood cells to stiffen and elongate into a crescent shape. The decrease in O2 causes the cell to sickle in shape. This genetic disorder is incurable and is often fatal. It is usually found during routine neonatal screening. patients will have exacerbations triggered by things like dehydration and hypoxia

initial interventions for DKA
Remove the cap from the MDI and shake well. Breathe out all the way. Place the mouthpiece of the inhaler between your teeth and seal your lips tightly around it. As you start to breathe in slowly, press down on the canister one time. Keep breathing in as slowly and deeply as you can. (It should take about 5 seconds for you to completely breathe in.) Hold your breath for 10 seconds (count to 10 slowly) to allow the medication to reach the airways of the lung. Repeat the above steps for each puff ordered by your doctor. Wait about 1 minute between puffs. Replace the cap on the MDI when finished. If you are using a corticosteroid MDI, you should use a valved holding chamber as described above.

Vitamin D must be given to absorb calcium phosphate binding drugs such as Renagel or or Sevelamar . They help prevent hypocalcemia. phosphate binders reduce absorption of phosphates as they can't rid phosphates . People with renal failure take phosphate binding drugs such as Renagel or Sevelamer. These medications prevent hypocalcemia caused by the elevated phosphorous. Normal phosphorous level-is 3.0-5.5.
