Sickle Cell Anemia
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the red blood cells become rigid and shaped like crescents or sickles rather than being flexible and round. These changes in the red blood cells may result in painful attacks called sickle cell crisis as well as leading to long-term complications such as stroke or an impaired immune system. Approximately 2 million Americans are carriers of the sickle cell trait. An additional 72,000 Americans have sickle cell anemia meaning they have inherited the trait from both parents. Sickle cell anemia cannot be cured but treatments are available for symptoms.
