Doctors diagnose sickle cell anemia through a checkup and blood tests. During the checkup, they may feel your belly to check your spleen or liver, ask about symptoms like pain in your arms, legs, or stomach, and review your past health.

Blood tests can measure red blood cells, identify the type of hemoglobin in your blood, and look for genetic changes that cause sickle cell anemia.
