Many don't even know what sickle cell disease is but the condition can cause real problems for sufferers
Every day in the UK 10 babies are born with a condition that can cause lifelong issues but many people have no idea what it is and what it means practically for those who are diagnosed. Sickle cells affect thousands of people in the UK according to the Sickle Cell Society.
What are the symptoms of sickle cell disease? Symptoms begin early in childhood and can sometimes be debilitating. How each individual is affected may vary, but the main symptoms are anaemia, an increased risk of infections, and pain. How is it diagnosed? Sickle cell disease is usually picked up during pregnancy or shortly after birth, although a blood test can be given at any time to see if someone has the condition or carries sickle cell genes.
