∙ 9y agoSickle cell anemia has no widely available cure. However, treatments can help relieve symptoms and treat complications.
Sickle-shaped red blood cells can be seen when a blood sample is examined under a microscope. But sickle cell disease is diagnosed by a blood test called hemoglobin electrophoresis, which measures the amount of the abnormal sickle hemoglobin. The amount of sickle hemoglobin determines whether the person is a carrier (sickle cell trait) or has sickle cell disease.

How is sickle cell anaemia diagnosed?
A sample of blood is looked at under a microscope. The sickled cells are then seen.
In sickles disease variation in one gene causes red blood cells to bend or sickle. This means the sickled cells?
Cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells :) *NovaNet*

Would the normal red blood cells or sickle cells be better at transporting oxygen?
The normal red blood cells would be better because sickled red blood cells clump and are not circulated as well as normal red blood cells are.

How can you keep your pointe shoe from twisting to look sickled?
well its not the shoe that looks sickled it means ur foot is sickled but if ur foot is sickled in ballet shoes its gonna look even worse in ballet shoes so u wanna try really hard 2 turnit out and make it look BEUTIFULL;]

What is a sickle cell crisis?
When cells don't form a membrane and are only half developed and then pass thus genetic information onto other cells...i think Sickle cell anemia is a condition in which the red blood cells are misformed. Instead of being round and concave somewhat like a donut but without a hole, a sickled red blood cell looks more like a crescent moon. The problem with sickle cell anemia is that, because of the deformity, it is not able to carry as much heme therefore decreasing the amount of oxygen each red blood cell can carry. When individuals get into sickle cell crisis, the cells of their body are greatly deprived of oxygenated blood. They are usually dehydrated and thus the sickled cell has even more difficulty passing through the venous and arterial systems. This condition is extremely painful for the individual and they will need medical attention immediately.
Why do sickled red blood cells cuase so many problems?
Its not sickled blood cells that cause problems, it's sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia (uh-NEE-me-uh) is the most common form of sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is a serious disorder in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. "Sickle-shaped" means that the red blood cells are shaped like a crescent. Normal red blood cells are disc-shaped and look like doughnuts without holes in the center. They move easily through your blood vessels. Red blood cells contain an iron-rich protein called hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). This protein carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Sickle cells contain abnormal hemoglobin called sickle hemoglobin or hemoglobin S.Sickle hemoglobin causes the cells to develop a sickle, or crescent, shape. Sickle cells are stiff and sticky. They tend to block blood flow in the blood vessels of the limbs and organs. Blocked blood flow can cause pain, serious infections, and organ damage.
What is the difference between normal cells and sickled cells?
Normal Blood Cells & Sickle Cells: These are the circular shape.Sickle cells look like a cresent moon, or sickle shape. It is due to proteins in the cell not bonding together correctly due to a genetic mutation and cause the cell membrane to not have a circular shape. The deformed cell cannot carry oxygen well in this shape and the people inflicted with this are in constant pain and anguish due to not enough oxygen being distributed at the tissues.The only good thing about sickle cell is that the people who are inflicted with it are immune to malaria.
What is an abnormality in red blood cells called?
Hyperemia is the condition in which RBCs rise above normal level.
