Overview

Symptoms of sickle-cell disease include mild pain in the arms an legs to severe pain from sickle cell crises and acute chest syndrome.

History

The location of vaso-occlusive episodes determines the types of symptoms a patient will experience. For example, vaso-occlusive crisis in the bones will cause bone pain. Bones, especially weight-bearing bones, are a common target of vaso-occlusive damage due to bone ischemia.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of sickle cell disease include:[1][2]

Acute chest crisis

Symptoms of acute chest crisis include:[3][4]
