Fibrinolytic activity in adult Kenyan patients with sickle cell disease.
The sickling of erythrocytes increases viscosity and reduces the rate of both local circulation and arterio-venous transit time. This causes occlusion of capillaries by "microthrombin". The occlusion is implicated in the multiplicity of vaso-occlusive complications of both acute and chronic nature. Whether or not anticoagulant therapy is warranted in these states has remained debatable. There i...

In a cohort study of 95 patients the relationship between clinical, laboratory, and sleep study data and frequency of painful crisis was investigated. ...
متن کاملPainful sickle cell crises precipitated by stopping prophylactic exchange transfusions.
A patient with homozygous sickle cell disease showed a reduced incidence of painful crises as a result of regular exchange transfusion, but on three occasions when transfusion treatment was interrupted, a painful crisis occurred. Onset of painful crisis was associated with raised packed cell volume (PCV) or percentage of haemoglobin S (HbS%), or both. Measurement of whole blood viscosity using ...
متن کاملManagement of acute painful crises in sickle cell disease.
Pain is a common mode of manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD) but there is limited information on pain management in this disorder. This study examines the use of opioids and non-opioid analgesia in the management of painful crisis in adult SCD patients; the routine use of antimalarials and antibiotics as adjunct therapy was also examined. A total of 87% of the patients had had a form of ...
