Sickle cell disease with crisis

Sickle cell disease with crisis refers to an acute, severe clinical exacerbation occurring in patients with sickle cell disease, an inherited red blood cell disorder caused by abnormal hemoglobin variants The condition primarily impacts the hematologic and vascular systems, affecting individuals possessing sickling hemoglobinopathies
