Objectives. Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is one of the commonest genetic disorders in the
world. It is characterized by anaemia, periodic attacks of thrombotic pain, and chronic …

Background: Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) patients are prone to require long-term frequent
blood transfusion because of chronic haemolysis and overlapping hyper-haemolysis …

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients have mechanisms that are thought to protect
them more than apparently normal individuals from iron deficiency. However, evidence …

Background Serum ferritin is considered to be one of the most important tools in the
measurement of iron balance in steady-state sickle cell disease. Increased gastrointestinal …

This study was aimed at evaluating the iron status of multiple blood transfused sickle cell
anaemia (SCA) patients in Benin City, Nigeria. A total of 86 subjects participated in the …

Aim Our objective was to access the Iron status of SCA patients and to find its correlation
with various parameters like red cell transfusion, haemolysis and serum hepcidin. Materials …

Background. Iron status in patients with sickle cell anaemia is a matter of continuing
investigation. Objective. This paper aims to determine the serum iron status of under-five …

In this study, children with sickle cell anemia were evaluated for iron deficiency. Serum
ferritin and free erythrocyte protoporphyrin free erythrocyte protoporphyrin (FEP) levels …

Background Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy resulting in
sickling of erythrocytes that cause micro-vascular obstruction leading to acute complications …

Introduction The estimation of serum ferritin level is a method of determining iron status. We
studied the iron status of a group of non-chronically transfused children with sickle cell …
