normal red blood cells versus sickle-shaped red blood cells

Sickle cell anemia, also known as sickle cell anemia and sickle cell anemia, is a hereditary hemoglobinopathy. The amino acid glutamic acid at the 6th position of the β-peptide chain is replaced by valine, which forms sickle hemoglobin and replaces normal hemoglobin. The clinical manifestations are chronic hemolytic anemia, predisposition to infection, and recurrent pain crisis causing chronic ischemia leading to organ and tissue damage. Mainly through blood transfusion, drug treatment and other methods of treatment.
