Can a blood transfusion cause sickle cell trait? |
Had a child that had a blood transfusion at birth now they are saying that the blood could have sickle cell trait is that possible? no way sickle sickle trait/disease is inherited (born with it) you can't acquire Sickle cell trait or overt disease is not an infectious disease.It is purely hereditary. The blood could have had sickle cell trait but unless they did a bone marrow transfision its impossible for anybody to acquire sickle cell. Thats because sickle cell is a genetic condition and the bone marrow cells that produce blood cells would have to have the genes for it. No a blood transfusion can certainly not give sickle cell. No, plus no blood center would accept a sickle cell patient's blood - sickle cell patients get a LOT of blood transfusions themselves, and you can't donate in that case. I can't donate for the same reason - I have Type III von Willabrand's disease, (somewhat like hemophilia) and recieve a lot of human derived blood products. |

It all gets replaced by your own personal made blood within a few weeks for the red blood cells and a few months for the white cells.... I have never heard of talking too much after a blood transfusion being a side effect. He could have felt better and started talking more. He could have been acting strangely from the medications ... doubt it ...Your mother has declining renal function...unfortunately there is no known cure for that problem.
