Question 7 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

Which is one treatment that is recommended for people with sickle cell disease?

Answer
A
pacemaker implant
B
calcium supplements
C
bone marrow transplant
D
healthy diet and exercise

Explanation

A bone marrow transplant, also called a stem cell transplant, can treat sickle cell disease and may cure it for some people. It is considered for eligible patients because it replaces the blood-forming cells that produce sickled red blood cells. A pacemaker and calcium supplements do not treat sickle cell disease, and diet and exercise are supportive rather than a disease-specific treatment.
