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.

Sometimes people experience a prolonged period of pain - called crisis - in which emergency department visits or hospitalization may be necessary.
