Sickles Cell disease can cause anemia, pain and land patients in the hospital. A new drug could offer some relief. Atlanta - Children's Healthcare of Atlanta treats more than 2,000 kids and young adults each year with sickle cell disease.
• Sickle cell disease makes red blood cells stick together and get stuck in blood vessels. This can cause pain, blood clots, and problems with organs including the heart, lungs, and kidneys. 1, 2 • Having sickle cell disease also makes it easier to get infections. • People who have sickle cell disease are born with it. It is estimated that 100,000 Americans have this disease. 4

Four major types of crises are recognised in sickle cell anaemia: aplastic, acute sequestration, hyper-haemolytic, and vaso-occlusive crises.
Sickle Cell Crises The most common is the vasoocclusive ('painful') crisis. Vasoocclusive crisis has sudden onset, usually lasts 5–6 days, and may be localized in one area of the body or generalized.
Thetr are a few drugs that can help. The drug called L-glutamine oral powder (Endari) has proven to help prevent these crises from occurring and thus preventing hospitalizations. Hydroxyurea (Droxia, Hydrea, Silkos) and voxelotor (Oxbryta) prevent abnormal red blood cells from forming.
