Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. In SCD, the red blood cells become hard and sticky and look like a C-shaped farm tool called a "sickle." People with SCD can live full lives and enjoy most of the activities that other people do. If you have SCD, it’s important to learn how to stay as health as possible. http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/sicklecell/index.html 0 0 en-US sog3@cdc.gov Health Public Health Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects more than 100,000 persons (more prevalent in blacks, Hispanics, and some Asian Americans) in the United States.
