Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic disorders worldwide with over 300 000 children born with it every year. Silent infarcts in sickle cell anemia occur in the borderzone region and are associated with low cerebral blood flow. Patients with SCD are also at increased risk of developing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). J Am Soc Nephrol. Admission and length of stay due to painful vasoocclusive crisis in children.

Refining the value of secretory phospholipase A2 as a predictor of acute chest syndrome in sickle cell disease: results of a feasibility study (PROACTIVE). [Medline]. Some findings also show the reduction of the sickle-cell trait in those who retain much more fetal hemoglobin than usual in adulthood. This is highly not recommended as it is tantamount to a sickle cell disaster. CT and image processing non-invasive indicators of sickle cell secondary pulmonary hypertension. 1. A sickling collapse comes on slowly, following cramps, weakness, general body aches and fatigue. N Engl J Med. N Engl J Med. Background: Research examining sleep in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) has focused on the increased occurrence of specific sleep disorders (i.e., sleep-disordered breathing, hypoxemia, nocturnal enuresis), but no research exists describing general sleep behaviors of children with SCD. It is when you have one normal gene and a sickle cell hemoglobin. 2016 Sep 19.

The significance of the sickle-cell trait is that it does not show any symptoms, nor does it cause any major difference in blood cell count. This was a retrospective study based on informal assessment during routine follow up visits by medical chart review. Am J Hematol. 58:1-52. White matter integrity and processing speed in sickle cell anemia. Major sickle genotypes described so far include the following: HbSS disease or sickle cell anemia (the most common form) - Homozygote for the S globin with usually a severe or moderately severe phenotype and with the shortest survival, HbS/b-0 thalassemia - Double heterozygote for HbS and b-0 thalassemia; clinically indistinguishable from sickle cell anemia (SCA), HbS/b+ thalassemia - Mild-to-moderate severity with variability in different ethnicities, HbSC disease - Double heterozygote for HbS and HbC characterized by moderate clinical severity, HbS/hereditary persistence of fetal Hb (S/HPHP) - Very mild or asymptomatic phenotype, HbS/HbE syndrome - Very rare with a phenotype usually similar to HbS/b+ thalassemia, Rare combinations of HbS with other abnormal hemoglobins such as HbD Los Angeles, G-Philadelphia, HbO Arab, and others.

Palha, Sofia Rebelo, Annie Henri, Yves Beuzard, Miguel P. Soares. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. Sickle cell disease is a blood disorder wherein there is a single amino acid substitution in the hemoglobin protein of the red blood cells, which causes these cells to assume a sickle shape, especially when under low oxygen tension.
