Shweta Bansal: Let’s Raise Awareness About Sickle Cell Disease on June 19th – World Sickle Cell Day
Shweta Bansal, Head of Department at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital & Research Centre, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“World Sickle Cell Day – June 19th
Let’s raise awareness about Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and improve diagnosis, treatment, and care for patients worldwide!
- Understanding SCD
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) helps differentiate between sickle cell trait and sickle cell anemia:
– Sickle Cell Trait: HbA (~60%) and HbS (~35%) present
– Sickle Cell Anemia: HbS (>90%) and HbA absent
- Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with SCD.
Let’s Work Together
Share this post with someone who needs to know more about SCD!
Let’s raise awareness and improve care for patients worldwide.”
