  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a complex genetic blood disorder.
  • It causes chronic hemolysis, infection susceptibility, and vaso-occlusive crises.
  • SCD significantly impacts patient quality of life and life expectancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of understanding SCD pathophysiology and clinical syndromes.
  • To inform medical practitioners in the Netherlands about the increasing prevalence of SCD.
  • To emphasize the need for comprehensive knowledge among local healthcare providers.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review of existing literature on sickle cell disease.
  • It synthesizes information on the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and current treatments.
