What is Sickle Cell Anemia: Overview and Management about?

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia where red blood cells become rigid, sticky and misshapen due to abnormal hemoglobin, clogging blood vessels and limiting oxygen delivery. Symptoms include painful swelling of hands and feet and risk for infection. Diagnosis involves blood tests showing abnormal hemoglobin and treatment focuses on blood transfusions, antibiotics and pain medications to manage crises along with supportive therapies and education to prevent problems.
