Abstract
The study is to show how sickle cell has influenced us today’s society. The association of hematology conclude that people of African American descent are at the highest risk for obtaining this disease. Continued by Hispanic Americans from central and south America, and people of Indian, Asian, and middle eastern descent. The goal is to show and inform about this deadly disease, and trigger people to get checked for sickle cell disease. This has been done by exanimating web pages such as the American Society of Hematology and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Upon this research it becomes clear that sickle cell disease is highly found not only in the United States but worldwide, and it is a genetic condition. This research features the importance of sickle cell disease and the amount of distress that brings with it.

In sickle cell disease the spleen does not perform its job correctly. Which is a problem because the spleen is supposed to purify and filter the blood. Not only is supposed to do that, but also produce white blood cells that fight infection. Therefore sickle cell disease patients are often sick, and obtain dreadful infections. It is highly necessary for a person with splenectomy to take penicillin for this will help with fighting infection. If the issue is not contained bacteria may trigger blood infection, infection covering the brain and spinal cord, and lung infection. Red blood cells transfusion is very helpful in these cases. It raises the amount of red blood cells in the body, and since these are healthy cells, they live longer they can provide more oxygen to organs and
