This study focuses on individuals with sickle cell trait (SCT) to see if their hemoglobin S levels have any effects on red blood cells, blood clotting, or kidney function.
Study Discussion and Consent: We will go over the study with you, and if you decide to join, you will sign a consent form. Initial Sickle Trait Test: A quick finger stick will be used to check for sickle cell trait. Blood Samples: If the test shows sickle cell trait, we will collect blood samples for lab tests. Follow-up blood samples will be needed one year and two years after the first test.
