SICKLE CELL INFORMATION
Sickle cell trait is not a disease; it is an inherited red blood cell condition that can affect athletes at all levels. While sickle cell trait is not a barrier to playing competitive sports, student-athletes with sickle cell trait have experienced significant physical distress, including collapse and death during intense exercise. Heat, dehydration, inadequate acclimatization, altitude and asthma can increase the risk for medical complications in student-athletes with sickle cell trait. For more information see this link.
Through awareness, education, and proper physical conditioning under the supervision of a primary athletics health care provider, athletes with sickle cell trait may safely achieve outstanding athletic performance. It is intended that test information be used by institutional and other applicable medical staff to provide more individualized medical monitoring and care not to eliminate participation.
Sickle Cell Trait status requirements can be met in the following ways:
1. Newborn Screening Test Results: All states and territories in the U.S. require sickle cell trait testing in newborns. Additionally, many countries also have these laws. To obtain your results -Â
- Contact your primary Health Care pediatrician and request documentation indicating your sickle cell status.
- Contact your birth hospital and request documentation on your sickle cell status
- Contact your state Department of Public Health.  If you were born in the United States, please refer to the link for state-specific contact information:  Click here  Â
2. Get tested: If you are unable to obtain your documentation, then the next step will be to obtain a test. This requires a written request from a physician, a blood draw from a physician’s office or lab, and a lab test with results indicated. You will want to request a copy of the documentation in order to submit this to us. This will be uploaded through your MyTransy Portal.
