If your newborn or young child has been diagnosed with sickle cell disease, you likely have a lot of questions. The good news is, with the right care, many children with sickle cell live long, healthy lives. Many take part in the same activities other children enjoy, including sports.
Early treatment is important. Although sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disorder in the United States we’re the only hospital in Arkansas to diagnose, evaluate and treat children who have sickle cell disease. Your child is in good hands here at Arkansas Children’s.

Sickle cell disease treatment aims to keep your child healthy and pain-free. We’ll work with you to create the best treatment plan for your child’s specific type of sickle cell disease and symptoms.
Your child may be able to take part in a clinical trial for sickle cell patients with pain crises:
A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Rivipansel (Gmi-1070) In The Treatment Of Vaso-occlusive Crisis In Hospitalized Subjects With Sickle Cell Disease.
