Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited blood disorder. Normally, red blood cells are disc shaped, allowing the blood cell to move freely through blood vessels to deliver oxygen. People with sickle cell anemia have abnormal red blood cells, shaped like sickles or crescents. These red blood cells aren’t able to move freely through blood vessels, and can cause blockage that stops the blood flow to the nearby tissues. When this happens, oxygen isn’t delivered to the tissue and this can cause severe pain. Sickle cell anemia affects a person their whole life, and right now the only cure for sickle cell anemia is a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
