Sickle Cell Disease Explained

Speciality: Hematology


Speaker:

Dr. Gauri Shankar Sharma | Consultant Hematologist

Description:

Welcome to our podcast. Today, we're exploring Sickle Cell Disease, a genetic blood disorder that affects millions worldwide. Sickle Cell Disease changes the shape of red blood cells, making them crescent or 'sickle' shaped. These abnormal cells can block blood flow, leading to pain, organ damage, and an increased risk of infection. The condition is inherited, meaning it’s passed from parents to children. While there’s currently no universal cure, treatments like pain management, blood transfusions, and medications can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Ongoing research offers hope for better therapies in the future. Understanding Sickle Cell Disease is vital for supporting those affected and promoting awareness.
