Question 1 • [HSHEAC] Health Sem 2 (26-27)
A bone marrow transplant, also called a stem cell transplant, can treat sickle cell disease and may cure it for some people. It is considered for eligible patients because it replaces the blood-forming cells that produce sickled red blood cells. A pacemaker and calcium supplements do not treat sickle cell disease, and diet and exercise are supportive rather than a disease-specific treatment.
