Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 718-727, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.
