### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort lately. I have sickle cell anemia and I think I might be going through a sickle cell crisis. What tests do I need to get done?
### Doctor: In order to evaluate your sickle cell crisis, we will need to perform a number of medical tests. The first test is a full hematologic panel which includes blood tests for identifying the number and type of cells present. We will also need to perform a complete blood count (CBC) to determine the number and types of blood cells in your body. In addition, you will need intravenous fluid replacement, radiographic imaging procedures, including a plain x-ray (X-ray), kidney function tests, and an electrolyte panel.
