  • You have had three or more severe pain crises per year over the past 2 years, even while receiving treatment
  • You have been receiving 8 or more blood transfusions per year for at least 1 year to prevent complications from sickle cell disease
  • A heart scan (echocardiogram) has shown a specific measurement of blood flow through your heart valve at or above a certain level, or you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure in your lungs
