Answer:
A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down.
Step-by-step explanation:
With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anemia), and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis).Infections, pain, and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell disease.
