Sickle Cell Anemia Treatment in India

Overview

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder. Normal red blood cells are round and flow easily through blood vessels. In this disease, cells become sickle- or crescent-shaped, making them rigid and sticky. These abnormally shaped cells hinder smooth blood flow, reducing oxygen supply throughout the body. The condition is inherited when a person receives two abnormal hemoglobin genes—one from each parent. The disorder is recessive and may not show symptoms in carriers (parents), but becomes active in offspring
