Gastric acid secretion in sickle-cell anaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gastric acid response to the augmented histamine test was measured in 115 Ghanaian patients, including 45 cases of sickle-cell anaemia. Normal gastric acid responses were found in the patients with sickle-cell anaemia, suggesting that the frequent occurrence of indigestion in patients with this disorder is unlikely to be related to abnormal gastric acid secretion.

Antioxidant Enzymes and Acute Phase Proteins Correlate with Marker of Lipid Peroxide in Adult Nigerian Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Objective(s) Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia. Haemoglobin S containing red blood cells may be susceptible to oxidative stress due to imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and the countering effect of the various antioxidants present in the body. Materials and Methods We evaluated some antioxidant enzymes which include gl...

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 ...
متن کاملThe gastric secretion in anaemia.
It is well known that anaemia of the Addisonian type is accompanied by an absence of free hydrochloric acid from the gastric juice. In so-called secondary anaemia Davies' found that in the gastric juice there was excess of mucus, low peptic activity and frequently a fixed pH in contrast with the absence of mucus and peptic activity and complete fixation of the pH in pernicious anaemia. Hartf al...

The number of G- and D-cells per area and the ratio of G/D-cells were investigated in biopsy specimens of the pyloric antrum from normochlorhydric subjects without peptic ulcer, from patients with duodenal ulcer, gastrinoma, pernicious anaemia, and after selective proximal vagotomy. Compared with normochlorhydric subjects antral G-cell density was significantly raised in pernicious anaemia, unc...

Background: The aim of the present study was application of haemoglobin absorption spectroscopy as a distinguishing tool for identification of two haemoglobin types-HbA and HbS. Material and Methods: Millimolar absorptivities of normal adult haemoglobin (HbA) and sickle cell haemoglobin (HbS) were monitored at pH values of 7.2 and 5.0, within the ultra violet and visible spectral range (250-...
