sickle cell disease is also a sickle cell anemia is a hereditary problem. It causes type of faulty haemoglobin in red blood cells. Human red blood cells will be circular in shape, so that it can run properly and move flexible in blood vessels but Sickle cell anemia will be in sickle or like crescent moon shape, so that they cant move well in small blood vessels and it blocks the blood vessels.
