SICKLE CELL TRAIT TEST WAIVER About Sickle Cell Trait Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition of the oxygen-carrying protein, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. Although Sickle cell trait is most predominant in African-Americans and those of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribbean, and South and Central American ancestry, persons of all races and ancestry may test positive for sickle cell trait. Sickle cell trait is usually benign, but during intense, sustained exercise, hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the muscles may cause sickling of red blood cells (red blood cells changing from a normal disc shape to a crescent or sickle shape), which can accumulate in the bloodstream and logjam blood vessels, leading to collapse from the rapid breakdown of muscles starved of blood. In rare severe cases, exertional sickling has led to the death of athletes with this trait. Sickle Cell Trait Testing The NCAA recommends that all student-athletes at the Division I and II levels have knowledge of their sickle cell trait status before the student-athlete participates in any intercollegiate athletics event, including strength and conditioning sessions, practices, competitions, etc. All individuals born in California on or after 2/26/90 should have been screened for sickle cell at birth and should use the following website to obtain their results: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/nbs/pages/nbsfaqtraitathletes.aspx as soon as possible. They should then provide a copy of these results to the SSU Sports Medicine Department. For currently enrolled SSU students only: If you were not born in California or if you were born before 2/26/90 Sonoma State University Student Health Center offers sickle cell trait screening in the form of a blood test to all Sonoma State University students. Individuals that test positive for sickle cell trait will be counseled on what can be done to avoid complications and to provide optimal care of you during practice, competition, and conditioning.
