Understanding Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder affecting the shape and function of red blood
cells. Normally, red blood cells are round and flexible, allowing them to flow smoothly through
the bloodstream and deliver oxygen throughout the body. In SCD, red blood cells become:
• Hard and sticky, resembling a sickle or crescent shape.
• Prone to blockages, leading to pain, swelling, and damage to organs.
• Short-lived, causing a constant shortage of red blood cells (anemia).
These complications increase the risk of severe health issues such as stroke, acute chest syndrome, and other organ damage. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), SCD primarily affects African American and Hispanic communities, with approximately 100,000 cases in the United States.
