Well, sickle cell anemia is quite a rare disease globally. It is one of a group of inherited genetic disorders with an occurrence ratio of one in a million births. In this disease, the patient's red blood cells are malformed and distorted into a sickle shape.  

The signs and symptoms of sickle cell anemia appear at the early age of 5 to 6 months:

- Anemia 

- Periodic episodes of pain Attacks

- Swelling of hands and feet

- Frequent Infections 

- Delayed growth or puberty

- Eyesight issues

- Pulmonary hypertension

- Organ damage 

If you see any of the symptoms mentioned above, immediately visit a nearby hospital for professional Medical Treatment in India.

This disease is caused by a change in the genetics that command the body to make the iron-rich compound in red blood cells(Hemoglobin). Hemoglobin(HB) is basically the protein in the red blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. 

The deformation in the hemoglobin starts to change the shape of red blood cells from a disc shape to the shape of a sickle. The shape of this sickle is irregular, bursts, and cannot move or assist oxygen transportation. 

Allogeneic Bone Marrow transplantation is the only Sickle cell Anemia treatment in India. This treatment uses the healthy blood stem cells from the donor in order to replace bone marrow in an infected person. The donor can be a family member or any other compatible person. The radiation therapy destroys the diseased cells, while the transplanted bone marrow starts developing new healthy cells.
