What Is Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)?
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a collection of genetic blood disorders characterized by abnormal red blood cells.
Healthy red blood cells are typically round in shape and flow smoothly through small blood vessels, ensuring the delivery of oxygen to various parts of the body.
​
However, in SCD, the structure of the red blood cells changes, causing them to become rigid and form a distinctive sickle or C-shape. These sickle-shaped cells have a shortened lifespan, leading to a persistent scarcity of red blood cells.
​
Moreover, the altered shape of the sickle cells increases the likelihood of them getting trapped in small blood vessels, obstructing the normal flow of blood and oxygen to vital organs. This phenomenon results in recurring episodes of excruciating pain, organ damage, severe infections, and, in some cases, even stroke.
​
Sickle Cell Disease poses significant challenges due to its effects on the circulatory system and the resulting complications it presents to individuals with the condition.
