Introduction.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder in which a mutation in the DNA changes the amino acid in the protein, affecting the protein structure. As a result, hemoglobin's structure changes from round to sickle cell, destroying its ability to transport oxygen.

02

Given Information.

Jeremy's weight=21lbs

Determine how many milligrams of hydroxyurea Jeremy should be given each day.

03

Explanation.

Jeremy currently weight21lbs.

Converting lbs into kg:

1lbs=0.4535kilograms21lbs=9.5235kilograms

A daily dose 20mgof hydroxyurea per kg body weight was recommended.
