summary/abstract:Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic red blood cell disorders. Most of the time, SCD is treated by doctors called hematologists, who are experts in blood conditions.
Pain specialists may also treat people with SCD because pain crises are common complications. Genetic counselors may help support parents having a child at risk for SCD. SCD can cause complications in many organs, so other types of doctors often treat people with SCD. Some additional specialists may include pulmonologists, ophthalmologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
