Sickle cell disease: This is a lifelong, serious hemolytic anemia in which the abnormal red cells may clog blood vessels with serious consequences. If you or someone you care about has sickle cell disease, or it is suspected, your physician knows how to diagnose and handle it; often a referral is required. Most important is patient education. Good luck.
