  1. crescent-cell anemia

    Crescent-cell anemia, often referred to as sickle cell anemia, is a genetic disorder that affects the hemoglobin within the red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a molecule in the blood that helps transport oxygen throughout the body. Instead of being flexible and round, the red blood cells become sticky and are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. This can cause the cells to block blood flow, leading to pain, infection, and organ damage.
