Sickle cell disease - Wikipedia
Sickle cell disease (SCD), also simply called sickle cell, is a group of inherited hemoglobin-related blood disorders. [2] The most common type is known as sickle cell anaemia. [2] Sickle cell anaemia results in an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin found in red blood cells. [2] This leads to the red blood cells adopting an abnormal sickle -like shape under certain ...

About Sickle Cell Disease | Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) | CDC
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders. Abnormal hemoglobin is produced. Red blood cells become hard and sticky and get stuck in small blood vessels, resulting in pain and other serious complications. There are several types of SCD, some more severe than others. In the United States, SCD is often found at birth through routine newborn screening.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Symptoms, Causes & Types

Sickle cell anemia - Symptoms & causes - Mayo Clinic
Causes Sickle cell anemia is caused by a change in the gene that tells the body to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the iron-rich compound in red blood cells that allows these cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The hemoglobin associated with sickle cell anemia causes red blood cells to become rigid, sticky and misshapen.

Sickle Cell Disease - What Is Sickle Cell Disease? | NHLBI, NIH
Sickle cell disease — also called sickle cell anemia — is a group of inherited disorders that affect hemoglobin , the major protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. Normally, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible so they can move easily through the blood vessels.

Sickle Cell Disease: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders that primarily affect hemoglobin, the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Instead of producing normal, round red blood cells, people with SCD produce cells shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These cells are rigid, sticky, and fragile.

Sickle Cell Disease - Hematology - Merck Manual Professional Edition
Sickle cell disease includes individuals with sickle cell anemia as well as those with HbSC disease, HbS beta + thalassemia, and other rare sickle cell disease causing variants. Sickle-shaped red blood cells (RBCs) cause vaso-occlusion and are prone to hemolysis, leading to severe pain crises, organ ischemia, and other systemic complications.
