Intracardiac 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...

Epidemiology The presence of renal failure in sickle cell disease (SCD) ranges from 5 to 18% of the total population of SCD patients (1). Powars et al. (2), in a prospective, case-control study of patients with SCD compared with sickle cell hemoglobin C patients, documented 31 (4.2%) patients affected by renal failure.

متن کاملPre-marriage Sickle Cell Screening Program in South Region of Iran, A Pilot Study on 50 Cases of Sickle Trait

According to Iranian Ministry of Health bulletin instructions, prenuptial Thalassemia Screening Program (TSP) primarily depends on RBC indices which are measured through a routine CBC. Only when these levels are bel...

Sickle cell trait can pose a grave risk for some athletes. In the past few years, exertional sickling has killed nine athletes, including five college football players in training. Exercise-physiology research shows how and why sickle red cells can accumulate in the bloodstream during intense exercise bouts. Sickle cells can "logjam" blood vessels and lead to collapse from ischemic rhabdomyolys...

Herrick [1] was the first to discover sickle cell hemoglobin ( 2 2) with sickle-shaped erythrocytes. In 1910, he described the case of a young black student from the West Indies with severe anemia characterized by “peculiar elongated and sickle-shaped red blood corpuscles.” Herrick also noted a slightly increased volume of urine of low specific gravity and thus observed the most frequent featur...
