Red Blood Cell Stiffness Driving Patient Symptoms: A Study of Red Blood Cell Population Rigidity in Sickle Cell Patient Genotype SC Relation to Overlooked Clinical Symptoms

2021-06-20

Abstract excerpt

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a systemic hematological disease. Various genotypes of the disease exist; however, the two most common include hemoglobin SS (Hgb SS) and hemoglobin SC (Hgb SC) disease. Hgb SC is typically considered a less severe genotype; however, some patients with SC disease still have significant complications. Ektacytometry is utilized to measure red blood cell deformability in sickle cell patie...
