Heterogeneous Red Blood Cell Adhesion and Deformability in Sickle Cell Disease
We present a microfluidic approach that allows simultaneous interrogation of RBC properties in physiological flow conditions at a single cell level. With this method, we studied healthy hemoglobin A (HbA) and homozygous sickle hemoglobin (HbS) containing RBCs using whole blood samples from twelve subjects. We report that HbS-containing RBCs are heterogeneous in terms of adhesion and deformabili...
متن کاملVascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-l Is Involved in Mediating Hypoxia- Induced Sickle Red Blood Cell Adherence to Endothelium: Potential Role in Sickle Cell Disease
We investigated the effects of hypoxia on red blood cell (RBC)-endothelial cell (EC) adherence and the potential mechanism(s) involved in mediating this effect. We report that hypoxia significantly increased sickle RBC adherence to aortic EC when compared with the normoxia controls. However, hypoxia had no effect on the adherence of normal RBCs. In additional studies, we found that the least de...

متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...
متن کاملRed cell exchange in sickle cell disease.
Red cell exchange transfusions remain an effective but possibly underutilized therapy in the acute and chronic treatment of sickle cell disease. In sickle cell disease, increased blood viscosity can cause complications when the hemoglobin exceeds 10 g/dL even if this is due to simple transfusion. Red cell exchange can provide needed oxygen carrying capacity while reducing the overall viscosity ...
