Introduction 

  • Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder in which a mutation in the DNA changes the amino acid in the protein, affecting the protein's structure.
  • As a result, hemoglobin's structure changes from round to sickle cell, destroying its ability to carry oxygen.
  • Patients with sickle cell anaemia who take hydroxyurea on a daily basis report less pain, fewer events where blood vessels are obstructed by sickle red blood cells, and increased blood flow.
