Why would having a sickle cell disease crisis result in a reduced red blood cell count, an elevated white blood cell count, and a reduced hematocrit?

Having a sickle cell disease crisis would result in:

- A reduced red blood cell count because the protein called hemoglobine S that causes the anemia, produces sickle cells and changes them for the red blood cells.

- The elevated white blood cells would elevatge, in order to defend themselves from this foreing protein, that may come from the sickle cells.

- The reduction of the hematrocrit level is due to the low count on red blood cells. The hemoglobin is the protein withing the red blood cells. Since it is reduced the hemoglobin with be reduced also.

Explanation:

Anemia due to sickle cell dissease is characterized by: a low count on red blood cells, as the sickle cells grow the less red blood cells are. There is also a reduction on the hematocrit which is the protein in the red blood cells. The elevated white cells would be fighting the foreing cells for protection.
