What are Sickle Cell & Hemoglobin Disorders?
Hemoglobin disorders are inherited conditions that affect the structure or production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
One of the most common inherited blood disorders is Sickle Cell Disease, where red blood cells become rigid and sickle-shaped instead of their normal round shape. These abnormal cells can block blood flow, leading to pain, anemia, infections, and damage to vital organs over time.
Other hemoglobin disorders include conditions that affect hemoglobin production or function, requiring specialized evaluation and ongoing medical care.
