on System (if
applicable)



Diabetes Sickle Cell
Anemia
Heart Disease Urinary Tract
Infection
Cardiovascular








-There were
ketones in her
urine due to her
body having to
use the fat in
her body for
energy because
glucose cannot
enter because
of lack of
insulin
-blood and level
of glucose is
too high in
blood
-If diabetes is
not controlled it
will lead to
complications
in the
cardiovascular
system such as
retinopathy,
neuropathy, or
nerve damage
and kidney
failure.
-heart rate
increases
because of
sickle cells.
-It is harder
for the
blood to
flow
through
crescent
shaped
cells.

-high HDL
levels will
cause plaque
to build up in
her blood
vessels,
making
someone at
risk of heart
attack
-high heart
rate puts you
at risk
-
-Blood
pressure and
heart rate are
greater when
an infection is
present
Digestive








-poor diet and
lack of exercise
can lead to
nerve damage

Bilirubin
gallstones -
sickle cells
die in 20
days; liver
breaks
down the

-cholesterol
deals with bile
-fatty build-
ups in the
artery wall
-getting rid of
excess fluids

defective
blood cells
-increased
about of
WBC
because
more open
to infection
-unbalanced
immune
system can
cause
inflammation,
pain, and
destruction of
the healthy
heart tissues.
Increased
production of
lymphocytes
(B & T cells)
and antibodies
against the
bacteria;
Inflammatory
response (may
increase
additional UTI
and/or
damage to
urinary tract
structures.
Nervous








-high blood
sugar affects
the nervous
system
-diabetic
neuropathy
-sickle cell
causes
blood clots
which may
lead to
strokes
because of
lack of
blood flow
-cholesterol is
a very
important part
in the nervous
system
-B cells are
produced to
fight infection
also they help
with memory
-loss of
bladder
control
Respiratory








-lung
inflammation
-breathing
problems
-slower
breathing
due to the

sickle cells
