Contributions of sickle hemoglobin polymer and sickle cell membranes to impaired filterability
Sickle cell anemia is a disease of abnormal rheology caused by acute and reversible, as well as chronic and irreversible, changes in the properties and deformability of sickle erythrocytes.

Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I

Genotypes of sickle cell disease
In this chapter, we will discuss the genotypes and phenotypes associated with the sickle syndromes. There are four major genotypes for sickle diseases, including sickle cell trait, sickle cell anemia, and compound sickle-cell-beta-thalassemia and sickle ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary dysfunction and sleep abnormalities are common in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Whether spirometry abnormalities are associated with polysomnography (PSG) findings remains unclear.

Natural History of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Kidney complications, referred to as nephropathy, develop early in sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition to its known morbidity, abundant data show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased mortality risk in SCD. Increasing evidence suggests that the natural history of SCD nephropathy is progressive. Initial glomerular

A Novel Plasma Heme Assay Reveals Disease Severity in Beta‐Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia
ABSTRACT Anemia results from imbalanced hemoglobin or red blood cell production and clearance. Hemolytic anemia, caused by premature red blood cell removal, can be intravascular (in blood) or extravascular (erythrophagocytosis). Hemolysis is common in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Beta‐Thalassemia anemia (β‐thalassemia), the most prevalent inherited ...

Sickle cell trait and diabetes tests : what every healthcare provider should know [PDF]
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the hemoglobin A1C assay may be unreliable for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and prediabetes in individuals with sickle cell trait (SCT) or other ...

Severe maternal morbidity according to sickle cell disease genotype
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic hemoglobinopathy that disproportionately affects individuals of African descent and is associated with elevated risks of maternal complications. However, the contribution of specific SCD genotypes to severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and postpartum readmission remains poorly characterized at the ...

Radiologic Evaluation of Paranasal Sinuses in Sickle Cell Anemia and Thalassemia: Case–Control Study
Background Sickle cell disease and thalassemia are inherited hematological disorders that are common worldwide. These patients suffer from chronic hemolytic anemia, which can result in bone marrow dysfunction and, in rare cases, extramedullary ...
