| A Blackpool group has organised an Afro-Caribbean night in the town to raise awareness of the hereditary blood disorder, sickle-cell anaemia. |
| Patients with hypothyroidism may have other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease, or pernicious anaemia. |
| It is important to remember that though they are related, iron deficiency and anaemia are distinct conditions. |
| If you had a test to look for abnormal red blood cells, for example in sickle cell anaemia, you will be told whether this was found. |
| Infection can produce severe anaemia and an aplastic crisis in people with sickle-cell anaemia or other abnormalities of haemoglobin. |
| Red blood cells are also used to treat anaemia, a condition in which haemoglobin levels are lower than normal. |
