THE SICKLE CELL DISEASES IN PREGNANCY
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1959Abstract 1. 1. Prenatal patients are screened for the sickle cell diseases by sickling preparations, followed by hemoglobin electrophoresis and alkali denaturation if sickling is positive. 2. 2. Six patients with sickle cell disease and three with sickle cell-C disease are reported. 3. 3.

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2002
Sickle cell disease (SCD) poses a considerable health burden in India. This review focuses on the recent initiatives to understand the variable phenotypes, the role of hydroxyurea in patients with the Asian haplotype and the feasibility of newborn screening, awareness and control programs.A systematic long follow up of patients in central India has ...

Sickle Cell Disease and the Kidney [PDF]
Seminars in Nephrology, 2003 Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects the kidney by acute mechanisms, as a form of the sickle crisis, and insidiously with renal medullary/papillary necrosis, with resulting tubular defects. Glomerular hyperperfusion and hypertrophy results in a chronic sickle cell nephropathy that results in a significant morbidity in the progression to end-stage kidney ...

Pregnancy in Sickle Cell Disease
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1986Risks associated with pregnancy for mothers with sickle cell disease and their infants have decreased markedly during the last decade. Among 79 women with sickle cell anemia (156 pregnancies), maternal death decreased from 4.1% before 1972 to 1.7% after 1972; their infants' fetal and perinatal death rates decreased from 52.7 to 22.7% (P less than .05),

Enuresis in Sickle Cell Disease
The Journal of Urology, 1995The prevalence of enuresis and management options for this condition were studied in our population of sickle cell patients. A total of 91 active patients (6 to 21 years old) followed at our regional sickle cell center was surveyed for the symptoms of primary nocturnal enuresis. Of the 91 patients 27 (29.6%) had primary nocturnal enuresis.

Pediatric Neurology, 2006
Children with sickle cell disease are at risk of developing neurologic complications, including stroke, transient ischemic attack, seizures, coma, and a progressive reduction in cognitive function. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and overnight pulse oximetry appear to predict, making prevention an achievable goal so that ...

Management of sickle cell disease
BMJ, 2008Hypoxia, hemolysis and infection are more or less associated in patients affected with sickle cell disease. Treatment is based on a programme including regular lifestyle, hydration, folic acid supply, prevention of pneumococcal infections and cerebrovascular events in children, regular follow-up in specialised centres allowing precocious screening and ...
