RESUMEN
Sickle cell disease is a group of diseases presenting with a set of characteristic acute and chronic manifestations. Sickle cell disease has traditionally been uncommon in the Northern European population; however, due to demographic changes, it is increasingly also something that Norwegian clinicians should be cognisant of. In this clinical review article we wish to present a brief introduction to sickle cell disease, with an emphasis on its aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation and how the diagnosis is established based on laboratory testing.
