Sickle cell disease is caused by genetic modification of β-globin (HBB). The result of clinical syndromes is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and can be complicated by vaso-occlusion and vasculopathy which can lead to severe and chronic organ damage and premature death. A 17-year-old female patient was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia with symptoms of severe weakness, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, constipation, severe calf pain, chest pain, abdominal pain, hypomenorrhea, hair loss etc., came to Ayurved chikitsa mandir and Panchkarma Research Center, Ahmedabad (18/9/2008). Patient’s mother has B thalasemia minor and her father has sickle cell trait (HbAs). So, they came here and were treated with ayurvedic medicine for 4 years and benefited in all the symptoms of sickle cell anaemia and hematology profile.References
