Sickle Cell Disease (SCD): Unraveling Red Blood Cell Impact
SCD involves inherited disorders altering red blood cells. Instead of their usual round shape, these cells transform into rigid, sticky “sickle” shapes, hindering oxygen transport. The abnormality causes cell death, leading to a shortage and blockages in blood vessels. This results in complications like pain, infections, acute chest syndrome, and strokes. Recognizing SCD challenges is crucial for effective diagnosis, management, and support.
