Hb protein in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. People with SCD have abnormal Hb, which doesn’t carry oxygen well, causing some of the medical problems of SCD. The most common types of SCD are: • HbSS • HbSC • HbS beta-thalassemia CS245001 sickle-cell-infographic.pdf
