Pattern of bone mineral density in sickle cell disease patients with the high-Hb F phenotype.

Acta haematologica - 1 Jan 2010

Gupta Renu, Marouf Rajaa, Adekile Adekunle

Abstract excerpt

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients of all ages due to erythropoietic stress and consequent bone marrow hyperplasia. Kuwaiti SCD patients have a mild clinical phenotype because of their high Hb F level. There has been no previous documentation of BMD in this population of patients. SCD patients (n = 81) and controls (n = 67) were recruited from hematology clinics of...
