Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA

Molecular Testing in Sickle Cell Disease: From Newborn Screening to Transfusion Care

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most frequent monogenic diseases worldwide and a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. SCD care carries several challenges. This includes early and accurate diagnosis as well as optimal red blood cell transfusion matching in this population carrying a high risk of alloimmunization.

Albuminuria Predicts a Rapid Decline in Kidney Function in 2 International, Longitudinal Cohorts of Adults With Sickle Cell Anemia. [PDF]

Am J Hematol
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and a major contributor to increased morbidity and early mortality in people with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (uACR) is recommended to identify patients with SCA‐related CKD but its utility in predicting long‐term kidney dysfunction remains unclear in this patient ...

Common Hematologic Emergencies—Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemias—A Pivotal Role of Clinical Laboratory

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hematologic emergencies are urgent health conditions which result in significant mortality and morbidity unless timely therapeutic measures are taken. Therapeutic success depends on their timely and accurate recognition by hematology laboratory services.

Evaluation of the Diagnostic Accuracy of the Quantitative Point‐of‐Care SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Test for Assessment of G6PD Deficiency in Infectious Diseases

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background G6PD deficiency affects about 500 million people worldwide and is prevalent in many malaria‐endemic settings. People with G6PD deficiency are at risk of hemolysis when exposed to certain medications, including 8‐aminoquinoline drugs used to treat Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Erythrocyte deformability correlates with microvascular ischemia and disease severity in diabetic retinopathy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Under physiological conditions, deformable erythrocytes pass smoothly through the capillary network, maintaining retinal capillary perfusion (A). In pathological conditions, reduced erythrocyte deformability causes irregular passage and stagnation within capillaries, resulting in localized blood flow stasis and microvascular congestion, leading to ...
