Haematological Profile of Children With Sickle Cell Anaemia in Steady State

erythrocyte indices in pre-school nigerian children with sickle cell anaemia in steady state.

sickle cell disease is a genetic haemoglobinopathy with consequent haemolysis and anaemia. it is of interest to study its effect on red cell indices beside haemoglobin concentration.the objective of the study is to determine the values of red cell indices in preschool-age children with sickle cell anaemia.we conducted a cross-sectional study including 97 children with sickle cell anaemia aged s...

Erythrocyte indices in Pre-school Nigerian Children with Sickle Cell Anaemia in Steady State

BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease is a genetic haemoglobinopathy with consequent haemolysis and anaemia. It is of interest to study its effect on red cell indices beside haemoglobin concentration. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study is to determine the values of red cell indices in preschool-age children with sickle cell anaemia.

Effect of Lisinopril on Microalbuminuria in Sickle Cell Anaemia Children: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Sickle cell nephropathy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Proteinuria contributes to progression of renal damage. Icroalbuminuria is an early feature of SCN and progression to advanced kidney damage is delayed if regression is achieved with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. We aimed to ...

Immuno-Haematological Characteristics of Nigerian Sickle Cell Disease Patients in Asymptomatic Steady State

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate some immuno-haematological characteristics of Nigerian sickle cell disease (SCD) patients in asymptomatic steady state. Material and Methods: Thirty asymptomatic SCD patients and 30 apparently healthy ageand sex-matched non-sickle cell disease individuals were investigated. The packed cell volume, white blood cells and differentials, and platelet cou...
