Sickle Cell Disease: What You Need To Know
(NAPS)——Sickle cell disease
involves abnormally shaped red
blood cells that reduce the flow of
blood inside the blood vessels. It is
inherited, the same way people
inherit the color of their eyes, skin
and hair. In the United States, it’s
estimated that sickle cell disease
affects up to 100,000 people,
mostly African American. And
while sickle cell disease causes
severe pain and other complica-
tions, with the right treatment and
care, it’s possible for most people
with sickle cell disease to live nor-
mal, active lives. Here’s what you
need to know about sickle cell dis-
ease, the populations that are most
affected, and how to best manage it
and stay as healthy as possible:
1.What is sickle cell dis-
ease? Sickle cell disease (SCD) is
a serious disorder in which your
body makes sickle-shaped red
blood cells. “While a normal blood
cell looks like a doughnut without
the hole, sickle—shaped cells are
shaped like a crescent,” says Dr.
Gary H. Gibbons, director of the
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute at the National Insti-
tutes of Health. “Sickle cells are
sticky and stiff. These cells can
block blood flow in blood vessels in
limbs or organs, causing pain and
organ damage, and raising the
risk of infection,”
2.Who is at risk? Sickle cell
disease is most common in people
whose families come from Africa,
South or Central America (espe-
cially Panama), Caribbean is-
lands, Mediterranean countries
(such as Turkey, Greece and
Italy), India and Saudi Arabia. In
the United States, it is estimated
that sickle cell disease .
'affects 90,000 to 100,000
people;
occurs among about one out of
every 500 black or African-Ameri-
can births; and
00ccurs among about one out of
every 36,000 Hispanic-American
i)ll"thS.
Doctors can help people wrth
sickle cell disease treat their
symptoms.
3.What are the symptoms?
Sickle cell disease is present at
birth, but many babies don’t
show- any signs until after 4
months of age. The signs and
symptoms of sickle cell disease
can be hard to pinpoint, but they
are mostly related to anemia and
pain. Fatigue ’(feeling tired or
weak) is the most common sign of
anemia. Sudden pain throughout
the body is also a symptom of
sickle cell disease—pain is the
most common complication of
sickle cell disease and the top
reason that people with sickle
cell disease go to the emergency
room or hospital. Other compli-
cations can include infection, eye
problems, organ damage or
strokes. ,
4.What steps can people
with sickle cell disease take to
stay healthy? “Most people with
sickle cell disease can live normal
lives and participate in most of
the activities they enjoy,” says Dr.
Gibbons. Here are some steps you
can take to manage your, sickle
cell disease:
' Find a good doctor and get
regular checkups. Often, the
best choice is a hematologist (a
doctor who specializes in blood
diseases) working with a team of
specialists.
"I‘ry to avoid getting sick.
Common illnesses, like the flu,
can quickly become serious for
people with sickle cell disease, so
it’s important to avoid infections
by practicing good hygiene, like
regularly washing your hands and
getting an annual flu shot.
'Stick with healthy habits,
like regularly drinking water and
staying active. Try not to get too
cold, too hot or too tired.
'Look for clinical studies.
New research is happening all
the time, and by participating in
clinical studies, you can help
advance science to find better
medicines and treatments for the
community.
'Get support from your
family or community and stay
updated on advances in sickle cell
disease management. Support
groups and community-based
organizations can be good options
to help you get information and
assistance.
5. How is sickle cell disease-
treated? Severe sickle cell disease
can be treated with a medicine
called hydroxyurea. This medicine
leads to increased Ievels of fetal
hemoglobin. In people who have
sickle cell disease, fetal hemoglo-
bin helps prevent red blood cells
from sickling and improves ane—
mia. Taken daily by mouth, hy—
droxyurea can reduce how often
certain sickle cell complications
occur. Sickle cell disease has no
widely available cure. However,
treatments can help relieve symp-
toms and treat complications. Mild,
pain is often treated at home with
over-the-counter pain medicines,i
heating pads, rest and plenty of
.fluids. More severe pain may need
to be treated in a clinic or hospital.
Make sure to discuss the potential
benefits and risks of any treat-
ment with your health care
provider before starting any new
medication.

disease.
