Thrombosis and Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by the presence of sickle hemoglobin, which has the unique property of polymerizing when deoxygenated. The pathophysiology of acute and chronic clinical manifestations of SCD have shown the central role of dense, dehydrated red cells in acute and chronic clinical manifestations of this pathology.

Abstract Haptoglobin (Hp) is a polymorphic acute phase α‐2 glycoprotein found in plasma that plays a critical role in binding, neutralizing, and removing cell‐free hemoglobin (Hb) from the circulation. Under clinical conditions characterized by high levels of hemolysis, such as in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), large quantities of cell‐free ...

Traditional dosing strategies often rely on a “one‐size‐fits‐all” paradigm, assuming an “average” patient with typical demographic and pharmacological characteristics. In reality, this often overlooks existing between‐patient variability and can lead to suboptimal drug exposure or toxicity. This issue is especially pronounced in pediatric patients, who

Model‐Informed Evaluation of Hydroxyurea Exposure During Lactation
Hydroxyurea is a cornerstone therapy for sickle cell anemia; however, evidence guiding its use during lactation remains limited. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to characterize hydroxyurea disposition in maternal plasma and breast milk, and to quantify infant exposure under clinically relevant breastfeeding scenarios.
