Sickle cell anemia screening is a test that identifies whether a person carries the sickle cell trait or has the disease. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder where the hemoglobin protein responsible for carrying oxygen is abnormal, causing the red blood cells to become crescent-shaped and stiff. The screening test involves analyzing a blood sample to check for the presence of abnormal hemoglobin. This screening is essential for identifying individuals at risk of passing the trait to their children and for implementing preventive measures and early interventions to manage the condition.
