Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin S, which causes red blood cells to form a rigid, crescent or "sickle" shape. These misshapen cells can block blood flow in small vessels, leading to pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infections. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning an individual must receive two copies of the sickle cell gene, one from each parent, to develop the disease. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications, including pain management, blood transfusions, and hydroxyurea therapy.
