Prenatal management of fetal anemia due to pyruvate kinase deficiency: A case report. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Pyruvate Kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common enzyme defect of glycolysis, leading to congenital hemolytic anemia, which can occur during the neonatal period.

Elevated Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery Peak Systolic Velocity: Anemia if Not; Then What? [PDF]
It is now a globally accepted and time tested fact that elevated fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity as seen on color Doppler is a non-invasive indicator of fetal anemia.

Nutritional status, hospitalization and mortality among patients with sickle cell anemia in Tanzania. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Reduced growth is common in children with sickle cell anemia, but few data exist on associations with long-term clinical course. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition at enrollment into a hospital-based cohort and ...

Genetic association of fetal-hemoglobin levels in individuals with sickle cell disease in Tanzania maps to conserved regulatory elements within the MYB core enhancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Common genetic variants residing near upstream regulatory elements for MYB, the gene encoding transcription factor cMYB, promote the persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) into adulthood. While they have no consequences in healthy individuals,

Fetomaternal hemorrhage - case report
Maternal fetal leakage (FMH) is a well-known cause of fetal anemia. We define it as the transition of the fetal erythrocytes into the maternal circulation. Its severity is determined by measuring the level of fetal hemoglobin in the mother's blood using

Doppler middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity measurement as diagnostic tool for fetal anemia after in-utero transfusions in red blood cell alloimmunisation [PDF]
Background/Aim. Doppler sonography of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) can be used to predict fetal anemia and the need for in utero intravascular transfusion (IUIT) in red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunisation pregnancies.
