Learn about sickle cell disease and the resources available.
A sickle cell test is a simple blood test used to determine if you have sickle cell disease (SCD) or sickle cell trait. People with SCD have red blood cells (RBCs) that are abnormally shaped. … Normal RBCs look like doughnuts. The sickle cell test is part of routine screening performed on a baby after they’re born.
