The American Society of Hematology (ASH) initiated an effort to develop clinical practice guidelines on Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) to identify best practices for the management of acute and chronic complications of SCD and ways to improve the quality of care for patients.

It is essential to provide updated treatment guidelines that reflect the newest evidence about the disease, ensuring the medical community can better treat SCD and people with SCD can make the best decisions for their care.

Here following the available guidelines:

• American Society of Hematology 2019 guidelines for sickle cell disease: cardiopulmonary and kidney disease
• American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: transfusion support
• American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cerebrovascular disease in children and adults
• American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: management of acute and chronic pain
