  • SCD is group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down.
  • With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape.
  • The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anaemia) and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis).
  • Infections, pain and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell disease.
  • Treatments include medication, blood transfusions and rarely a bone-marrow transplant.
  • Treatment can help, but this condition can't be cured.
