SICKLE CELL

Sickle Cell Disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Sickle red blood cells become hard, sticky, and shaped like sickles used to cut wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small blood tube, they clog the flow and break apart. This can cause pain and damage to organs such as the spleen or kidneys. Sometimes people experience a prolonged period of pain - called crisis - in which emergency department visits or hospitalization may be necessary.
