one of the issues is that it can also cause organ damage when this happens, and many people with sickle cell can infarct the spleen. What happens in sickle cell is a mutation in one amino acid/protein forming part of your hemoglobin chain, which causes it to bend and fold differently then it should. The most common mutation is on one gene. People that have heterozygous for the gene (meaning they have half an allele for sickle cell and half normal) actually have protection against malaria, which is why it is actually more common in the African community. Oxidative stress and other factors can cause his RBCs to sickle, and thats who the damage happens.
