This Week's Facts About Sickle Cell
Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that affects the hemoglobin a protein found in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen throughout the body. Sickle cell anemia occurs when an abnormal form of hemoglobin (HbS) is produced. HbS molecules tend to clump together, making red blood cells sticky, stiff, and more fragile, and causing them to form into a curved, sickle shape. Red blood cells containing HbS can go back and forth between being shaped normally and being sickle shaped until they eventually become sickle shaped permanently according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
