Sickle Cell Disease could be diagnosed in two ways. One way is that this can cause a number of problems since the blood can't carry oxygen as well in this person compared to an person who doesn't have it. The BEST way is by looking at a blood smear. Some of the Red Blood Cells are misshapen. There don't look like disks, but like a "sickle" blade. They are curved at two ends. They are not flexible and jam in the blood vessels and can't carry much oxygen.

Can a child get sickle cell at the age of sixteen?
Sickle cell disease is a genetic condition that a child inherits from their parents, and symptoms typically manifest in early childhood. A child cannot "get" sickle cell disease at the age of sixteen if they do not already have the genetic traits for it. However, if a person has the sickle cell trait, they may not show symptoms until later in life, but the underlying genetic condition is present from birth. Therefore, a child diagnosed with sickle cell disease at sixteen would have had it since birth, but symptoms may not have appeared until later.

What are the different types of sickle cell disease and how do they differ from each other?
There are several types of sickle cell disease, including sickle cell anemia, sickle beta thalassemia, and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease. These types differ based on the specific genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is the most common and severe form, where individuals have two copies of the sickle cell gene. Sickle beta thalassemia and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease are milder forms that result from different combinations of genetic mutations. Symptoms and complications can vary among the different types of sickle cell disease.
