Answer to Question 2

Sickle cell anemia is the most common structural hemoglobinopathy, defined as homozygous abnormal hemoglobin polymerization resulting in a sickling of RBCs in symptomatic individuals. The crescent-shaped cell morphology is obvious when stained and magnified. Nutrition therapy for an acute sickle cell crisis should include increased macronutrients because this condition increases energy expenditure, protein and bone turnover, risk of pulmonary disease, chronic inflammation, frequency of infections, and cardiac output.
