Sickle Cell Disease

Treatment in Chh. Sambhajinagar

Comprehensive Care for a Lifelong Inherited Blood Disorder

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects the shape and function of red blood cells. Instead of being flexible and round, the red blood cells become rigid and sickle-shaped, making it difficult for them to flow smoothly through blood vessels. This can lead to pain episodes, anemia, infections, and other serious health complications.

Sickle Cell Disease

What is Sickle Cell Disease?

Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for producing hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen throughout the body.

In individuals with SCD, red blood cells become hard, sticky, and crescent-shaped. These abnormal cells can block blood flow in small blood vessels, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. The condition is lifelong and requires ongoing medical care to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Sickle Cell Disease

Chronic anemia

Fatigue and weakness

Episodes of severe pain

Shortness of breath

Frequent infections

Vision problems

Causes & Risk Factors

Genetic Inheritance

Sickle Cell Disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the hemoglobin gene.

Family History

Individuals with a family history of Sickle Cell Disease are at higher risk of inheriting the condition.

fe2

Sickle Cell Trait

People who inherit one abnormal gene and one normal gene have Sickle Cell Trait. While they usually do not develop the disease, they can pass the gene to their children.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells become sickle-shaped, making it difficult for them to carry oxygen and flow smoothly through blood vessels.

Common symptoms include anemia, severe pain episodes (pain crises), fatigue, swelling of the hands and feet, frequent infections, delayed growth, and jaundice.

Sickle cell disease is caused by an inherited genetic mutation in the hemoglobin gene. A child develops the disease when they inherit the abnormal gene from both parents.

Diagnosis is made through blood tests, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC), hemoglobin electrophoresis, newborn screening, and genetic testing when required.

Treatment may include medications, pain management, blood transfusions, infection prevention, hydroxyurea therapy, and in selected cases, bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation.

Jeevan Amrut Haematology Centre offers expert diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, comprehensive sickle cell care, blood transfusion support, advanced hematology services, and long-term follow-up to help improve patients' quality of life.
