What is sickle cell anemia
Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that changes the shape of red blood cells from round to a rigid, crescent-like form. These misshapen cells break down faster and can block blood flow, causing pain, anemia, infections, and organ damage. It’s most common in people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent.
