∙ 14y agoSickle cell anemia is revealed in a blood test. Sometimes people discover it when they have a lot of pain. Sometimes their relatives find out about it in the autopsy. Basically a blood test is the only way to discover the disease. If you have a microscope, you might look at your blood cells and see if you can tell. If you know someone with the disease and someone who does not have it, you could compare the two. That would make a good science project.
