Rheological properties of sickle erythrocytes in patients with sickle-cell anemia: The effect of hydroxyurea, fetal hemoglobin, and α-thalassemia.

European journal of haematology - 1 Dec 2018

Ballas Samir K, Connes Philippe

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Determine the effect of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and α-thalassemia on red blood cell (RBC) deformability of patients with sickle-cell anemia (SCA) with and without hydroxyurea (HU). METHODS: Adult patients were enrolled in the Sickle Cell Program of the Cardeza Foundation (Thomas Jefferson University) and were followed up prospectively during the period in which the Multicenter Study of Hydroxyurea (MSH)...
