چکیده مقاله:

Abstract Background Prevalence of hereditary blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia, sickle thalassemia and thalassemia major are high in Khuzestan province. Sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia are predominantly common in Iranian Arabs. Pulmonary complications account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality in patients with and sickle cell disease. Periodic lung function assessment is recommended to provide a diagnostic clue criterion for physicians. Objective The purpose of this study is to assess the spirometry parameters in patients with sickle beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease in south west Iran. Materials and Methods Over three months, a total of 35 patients participate in this cross sectional study. Spirometry test was performed on 21 patients with sickle cell disease (12 male, 9 female) and 14 patients with sickle beta thalassemia (7 male, 7 female) aged 6to35 years old. Normal people were matched according to age and sex and were tested as control. Results Eighty six percent of sickle cell disease and 57 percent of sickle beta thalassemia had restrictive pattern of lung disease. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) correlated positively with Hb F level and negatively with Hb S level (P-value<0.001) in sickle cell disease patients (P-value<0.001). Serum ferritin level had a negative effect on FEV1 and FVC in sickle beta thalassemia patients. Conclusion Periodic lung function tests are a useful monitoring test to provide a clinical evaluation profile and have positive correlation with Hb F level.

Side effects of hydroxyurea in patients with Thalassemia major and thalassemia intermedia and sickle cell anemia

Background Sickle hemoglobin is the most common abnormal hemoglobin in the United States. Hemoglobin S arises as a result of a single amino acid substitution (glutamic acid to valin at position 6 of the β-globine chain). The presence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) plays a relatively protective role since a significant amount of HbF interferes with HbS polymerization, the pathogenesis mechanism of ...

Determination of Serum C, S Proteins and Factor V Leiden among Patients with Sickle Cell Disorder at Khuzestan Province, Iran

Background: Sickle cell disease occurs due to a mutation in β chains and the substitution of valine instead of glutamate in the sixth position of the ß-chain that causes polymerization and vascular blockage. The aim of this study was to compare the serum C, S proteins and factor V Leiden between sickle cell patients and the control group. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, perf...

The Effect of L-Glutamine on Pain Crisis Reduction in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Sickle β°-Thalassemia

Background: A low level of L-glutamine, a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in red blood cells (RBCs), is identified as an underlying mechanism for the potential decrement of the NAD redox and the incidence of pain crisis in sickle cell anemia (SCA). The aim of this study is to assess the impact of oral L-glutamine therapy on pain crisis reduction in patients with SCA and sic...
