Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to document the transition of hemoglobin (Hb) F levels from early childhood to adulthood in Kuwaiti sickle cell disease patients, investigating its relationship to sex, Hb genotype and coexistence of alpha-thalassemia trait. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The following parameters were extracted from the patients' records: age, sex, Hb, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular Hb, red blood...
