There’s good news for O blood types. Research shows your risk of coronary heart disease tends to be lower. Experts aren’t sure why. Some think it might be because other types are more likely to have higher cholesterol and higher amounts of a protein that’s linked to clotting. Stomach Cancer A, AB, and B blood types are more at risk for stomach cancer than type Os.  A, AB, and B blood types are more at risk than type Os. Specifically, people with type A blood are more likely to get stomach cancer. Researchers think this might be because H. pylori infection is more common in people with type A blood. That’s a bacteria that’s usually found in the stomach. It can cause inflammation and ulcers. Memory People with type AB blood may have more memory problems than any other blood type.  A small study showed that people with memory problems had type AB blood more than any other. Pancreatic Cancer If you have type A, AB, or B, your risk is higher for pancreatic cancer.  Your risk is higher if you’re type A, AB, or B. Molecules in type A and B red blood cells help certain bacteria called H. pylori grow in your gut. It can make you more likely to get pancreatic cancer.  Stress People with type A blood tend to have more cortisol, the stress hormone, and may have a harder time with stress.  Stress boosts your body’s level of cortisol, the stress hormone. People with type A blood tend to have more cortisol, anyway. So you may have a harder time dealing with stressful situations. Malaria The parasite that causes malaria may have a harder time attaching to type O blood cells.  Type O blood may help ward off this disease. You can get malaria when an infected mosquito bites you. The parasite that causes it has a harder time attaching itself to type O blood cells. Ulcers Peptic ulcers seem to occur more often in people with type O blood.  Peptic ulcers — painful open sores that crop up in the lining of your stomach or upper intestine — seem to happen more often with blood type O. Blood Clots People with type A, B, or AB blood are at a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).  Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is when your blood clots in a deep vein, like the ones in your legs. These clots sometimes move to your lungs. Research shows that people with type A, B, or AB blood are at a higher risk of VTE. Life Span People with type O blood tend to live longer because of a lower risk for cardiovascular disease.  Chances are higher you’ll live longer if you have type O blood. Experts think your lowered risk of disease in your heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease) may be one reason for this. Fertility Women with low numbers of healthy eggs are more likely to have type O blood.  Your blood type can’t predict whether you’ll get pregnant, but it may play a role. In one study, women with low numbers of healthy eggs were more likely to have type O blood than any other type. More research is needed to figure out why. Diabetes Type 2 diabetes seems to happen more often in people with blood types A and B.  Type 2 diabetes seems to happen more often in people with blood types A and B. Experts aren’t sure why. More research is needed. Stroke Type AB tends to clot more than other types, increasing the risk for stroke.  Your risk for a stroke goes up if you have blood type AB. Doctors think that’s because it’s more likely to clot than other types.  Sources:  This tool does not provide medical advice. See additional information:  © 1996-2024 WebMD, LLC. All rights reserved. Source slideshow on WebMD Blood Disorders: What Is Sickle Cell Disease      Reviewed By: Carol DerSarkissian, MD  Reviewed on 10/23/2020 What is Sickle Cell Disease? Sickle cell disease interferes with blood flow.  These inherited blood disorders make red blood cells stiff and crescent-shaped, rather than round. Because of that, blood can’t flow easily through the blood vessels. This can cause flare-ups of severe pain, and lead to anemia, stroke, organ damage, and heart or liver failure. There’s no cure for sickle cell disease. But you can manage the symptoms. Causes of Sickle Cell Disease Sickle cell disease is caused by inheritance of two genes, one from each parent.  Genes passed from parents to children cause it. They affect hemoglobin, a blood protein. Sickle cell anemia, which is severe, happens if you inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene — one from each parent. Sickle cell trait happens if you have one copy plus one normal gene. That means you’re probably healthy, but you could pass the trait to your kids. Getting a sickle cell gene and a different abnormal gene can cause mild to severe disease. Who Gets Sickle Cell People of certain ethnicities are at higher risk for sickle cell disease compared to others.  Up to 100,000 Americans have some form of sickle cell. It’s more common among some races and ethnicities than others. If you have African ancestry, you’re at the highest risk for sickle cell trait. You may also be at risk if your ethnicity is Hispanic, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian, or Indian. Signs and Symptoms Pain crises, anemia, swollen hands and feet, dark urine, yellow eyes, pale skin or nail beds, abdominal swelling and frequent infections are signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease.  Periodic episodes of pain, called pain crises, are the major and most frequent sickle cell symptom. You may also have anemia, which leaves you very tired. Other symptoms are swollen hands and feet, dark urine, yellow eyes, pale skin or nail beds, a swollen belly, and frequent infections. Stroke symptoms like facial weakness or slurred speech can point to sickle cell, too. Diagnosis Babies are screened for sickle cell disease shortly after birth.  In the U.S., every baby gets a blood test at birth that shows if they have sickle-shaped cells. Older children and adults can get this blood test, too. Doctors can also screen a fetus for the genes that cause sickle cell disease early in pregnancy. They draw out a sample of amniotic fluid from the womb to do the test. Stroke Risk Screening Children who have sickle cell disease should be screened for stroke.  Sickle cell disease can cause even young children to have a stroke. Toddlers as young as 2 may get a screening for stroke risk with a quick, painless ultrasound test to measure their blood flow. Some children with sickle cell need regular blood transfusions to prevent strokes. Complications of Sickle Cell Disease Sickle cell disease can lead to strokes, high blood pressure, and other symptoms.  This disease can lead to strokes, high blood pressure in your lungs, organ damage, leg ulcers, blindness, and gallstones. Sickle cell can also cause acute chest syndrome, a potentially deadly condition that involves chest pain, fever, cough, and a hard time breathing. Men with sickle cell may get long-lasting, painful erections (priapism) or become impotent. Women can have complicated pregnancies. The Latest Treatments New drugs may help treat sickle cell symptoms and prevent serious problems due to the condition.  Three new drugs may help treat sickle cell symptoms and prevent the serious problems that can arise from the condition. Crizanlizumab (Adakveo) and L-glutamine oral powder (Endari) can help make severe pain episodes happen less often. And voxelotor (Oxbryta) improves anemia. Other Treatments Antibiotics and other treatments may be prescribed to treat sickle cell disease.  Children with sickle cell disease often take penicillin, an antibiotic, twice daily to prevent severe infections. Most pediatricians stop this treatment at age 5. Hydroxyurea is another drug that can cut down the number of pain flares you have. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, can also help with pain. Blood Transfusion Blood transfusions are one type of sickle cell disease treatment.  Blood transfusions can raise levels of healthy red blood cells. Having more normal blood cells can ease other symptoms of the disease. You may need a transfusion if you have a stroke, acute chest syndrome, or organ failure, or before surgery to prevent complications. Stem Cell Transplant Stem cell transplants from a compatible donor may cure some children who have sickle cell disease.  For some people, a stem cell transplant can cure sickle cell disease. This replaces your blood-forming stem cells with new healthy ones. You’ll need a relative who is a good genetic match to donate tissue for the procedure. Children with severe complications often get a transplant. But transplants don’t always work in older adults. And they come with the risk of infections, seizures, and, in rare cases, death. Gene Therapy Gene therapy may one day offer a cure for sickle cell disease.  It’s not available yet, but this could one day be a treatment for sickle cell. Doctors would remove blood or bone marrow tissue from your body. They’d repair the faulty genes in a lab, then inject them back into your blood to produce healthy red blood cells. For now, gene therapy is still in the research stage. Living with Sickle Cell Disease Adopting certain helpful lifestyle changes can help you manage sickle cell disease.  You can manage some symptoms. Get regular exercise at a pace you can handle. Drink plenty of water and don’t smoke to cut your risk of pain episodes. Get folic acid from fresh veggies, whole grains, or supplements to help your bone marrow make more red blood cells. Get a flu shot and other vaccines you need to prevent infections. See your doctor regularly to spot complications. Take OTC pain meds and drink fluids when a flare starts. Outlook Some people can go years without symptoms with sickle cell disease.  Sickle cell disease is a lifelong condition you have to manage. With a healthy lifestyle and new medications, you can live longer and have a better quality of life. With good control of the disease, some people go years without symptoms.  Sources:  This tool does not provide medical advice. See additional information:  © 1996-2024 WebMD, LLC.

Eating healthy is especially important when you have paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder where your immune system destroys red blood cells so they can’t carry oxygen throughout your body like they should. To help your body make red blood cells and keep your energy up, eat lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay away from fast food, processed foods, starches, and foods with a lot of salt. Drink Lots of Water Drink lots of water and stay hydrated if you have PNH.  This can help you stay away from the sugar and chemicals found in most fruit juices and soda. It’s also a good idea to limit alcohol and caffeine. Staying hydrated is really important, and water is your best bet. Caffeine and alcohol also can mess with your sleep. Aim for 8 glasses of water each day. Get Good Sleep PNH can make you tired so wind down before bed to maximize the changes that you get a good night’s sleep.  PNH can make you tired. Getting restful ZZZs can help. Set a regular sleep schedule at night and try not to nap during the day. Find ways to relax before bedtime, like taking a warm bath, reading, or listening to music. That can get your mind and body in the right place for a good night’s sleep. Get Regular Exercise Get regular exercise if you have PNH.  Being active is good for your physical and mental health, and it can help you sleep better at night. Easy things like taking a walk, or doing housework or yard work count. Be sure to talk with your doctor about which activities are right for you. In some cases, heavy exercise can cause a buildup of lactic acid in muscle tissue. Stay on Top of Vaccinations Stay on top of vaccinations and keep yourself healthy if you have PNH.  When you have PNH, it’s important to do all you can to protect yourself from illness and infection. Ask your doctor about which vaccines you need, and talk with your friends, family, and caregivers about staying on top of their vaccinations so they don’t pass anything along to you. Write It Down Keep a list of new symptoms, lifestyle changes, and vitamins and supplements for your doctor.  Information is key for you, your doctors, and your support system. Keep track of things like new symptoms, lifestyle changes, and any vitamins or supplements you take. It’s also a good idea to have a list of all your medications, including over-the-counter ones. Build a Support Team Create a support system and lean on them if you have PNH.  Living with PNH can be stressful. Talking about your feelings and learning from others can make a big difference. Create a network of friends, family, and other people who have PNH that you can lean on to make your day to day a bit easier. Be Open to Complementary Options Add alternative therapies to your plan to improve your quality of life.  Adding some alternative therapies to your plan alongside medical treatments can improve your quality of life and ease stress. Ask your doctor about things like counseling, aromatherapy, massage therapy, meditation, and visualization. Do Your Homework When Traveling Ask your doctor how flying or altitude will affect your symptoms.  Before any trip, make sure you understand the risks involved in where you’re going and how you’ll get there. For example, flying in a plane or being at higher elevations can cause issues if you have anemia because there’s less oxygen in those situations. Talk with your doctor and get a red blood cell count before you go anywhere. Talk With Your Specialist Before Any Surgery You may have to take certain medications before and after surgery if you have PNH.  Surgery carries specific risks for people who have PNH because there’s a greater chance of problems like blood clots or serious bleeding. Your doctor may recommend antibiotics before a procedure to prevent infections, and you may need to take a blood thinner afterward to prevent clotting. Consider Pregnancy Carefully Pregnancy increases the risk of certain complications if you have PNH.  Having a baby can make certain things — like blood clots, bone marrow issues, and preeclampsia (very high blood pressure) — more likely for women who have PNH. There are some risks for babies, too, like low birth weight or slow development. If you’re pregnant, or thinking of getting pregnant, talk with an obstetrician who’s familiar with PNH and high-risk births. Use the Right Contraception Condoms and progesterone implants may be the best types of birth control for women who have PNH.  If you’re sexually active and want to prevent pregnancy, certain kinds of birth control are better than others if you have PNH. Condoms for men and progesterone implants for women work best. Doctors don’t recommend birth control pills because they can make blood clots more likely.  Sources:  This tool does not provide medical advice. See additional information:  © 1996-2024 WebMD, LLC.
