The renal complications of sickle cell anemia are well known. Gross hematuria is one of these, although it is associated more often with the sickle cell trait than with the disease. Nonetheless, in Togo, where the frequency of S gene is 16%, hematuria is rarely report in people with this gene. We describe 3 cases of gross hematuria in patients with sickle cell disease: primary hematuria associa...

In the article, " Impact of iron overload on interleukin-10 levels, biochemical parameters and oxidative stress in patients with sickle cell anemia " by Barbosa et al. , the authors measured the levels of several biochemical blood components as well as oxidative stress status and interleukin 10 (IL-10) of a cross-sectional population of 30 sickle cell anemia patients, randomly selected of both ...

Recently, ithas been demonstrated thatthe offspring of one parent with the sickle cell trait and one w’ith thalassemia may develop a severe hemolytic anemia with some of the characteristics of both thalassemia and sickle cell disease, ineluding microcytosis and numerous sickled erythrocytes in the blood film. This syndrome has been called mi(’rodrepanocytic,9 or sickle cell-thalassemia, disease...

In sickle cell disease transfusions improve blood flow by reducing the proportion of red cells capable of forming sickle hemoglobin polymer. This limits hemolysis and the endothelial damage that result from high proportions of sickle polymer-containing red cells. Additionally, transfusions are used to increase blood oxygen carrying capacity in sickle cell patients with severe chronic anemia or ...

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell anemia is one of the most prevalent hereditary disorders with prominent morbidity and mortality. With this disorder oxidative, phenomena play a significant role in its pathophysiology. One of the garlic (Allium sativum L.) formulations, aged garlic extract (AGE), has been reported to exert an anti-oxidant effect in vitro, we have evaluated the anti-oxidant effect of AGE ...

The objective of these studies is to define the role of zinc in RBC ghost morphology specifically in comparison to the echinocytogenic effects of calcium. Erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from patients with sickle cell anemia, treated with zinc and/or calcium and the resulting cell morphology studied by scanning electron microscopy. Our results showed that zinc consistently and significantly an...

In the sickle cell syndromes, Hb A2 measurements aid in the differential diagnosis of sickle cell anemia from sickle-beta-thalassemia. The purpose of this study is to assess the Hb A2 levels in samples containing sickle hemoglobin (Hb S) by the use of an automated high performance liquid chromatography system (HPLC-Variant beta-thalassemia Short Program). The blood samples analyzed were from in...

S ICKLE cell anemia is a congenital chronic hemolytic type of anemia characterized hematologically by the development of oat-shaped and sickle-shaped erythrocytes. Other cellular abnormalities which are due to excessive blood de-’ struction and active blood formation are also seen in blood smears. Six to IO per cent of Negroes possess the sickle trait 2p 3; their red blood cells have the capaci...
