Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microvascular occlusion, the pathophysiological hallmark of sickle cell disease (SCD), is a complex multifactorial process with alterations in coagulation, endothelial function and inflammation. However, relationships between these process in the two most common genotypes, HbSS and HbSC, are unknown. We hypothesized differences in the hypercoagulable state [as assessed by tissue factor (TF),...
