Quality of Life Improvement Is the Most Important Treatment Goal for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
Researchers sought to determine what should be the primary treatment goal for patients with sickle cell disease.
Sickle Cell Disease
Transplant Beneficial for Kidney Failure in Sickle Cell
Patients with kidney failure who receive a kidney transplant, including those with sickle cell disease, have lower mortality.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation May Not Reduce Renal Function in Sickle Cell Disease
For patients with sickle cell disease, HSCT may not be associated with a significant increase in CKD incidence or prevalence following transplantation.
Endurance Exercise May Offer Vascular Benefit in Sickle Cell Disease
Increases in capillary density, functional exchange surface seen in microvasculature of skeletal muscle.
Voxelotor Improves Hemoglobin Levels in Sickle Cell Disease
Fewer individuals in voxelotor group versus placebo group have worsened anemia at week 24.
Risk Factors for Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
Patients with severe sickle cell disease were more than twice as likely to experience recurrent thromboembolism compared with patients with less severe disease.
Individualized Management Approach May Improve Care and Cut Costs for Sickle Cell Pain
A multidisciplinary intervention strategy led to a 61% decrease in hospital stay duration for patients with sickle cell disease and vaso-occlusive pain.
New Law Boosts Fight Against Sickle Cell Disease
In 2018, the National Institutes of Health was funded approximately 115 million for research of the disease.
A Novel and Rapid Assay for Sickle Cell Disease Screening
Children born with sickle cell disease in low-resource regions of the world often remain undiagnosed and therefore do not receive appropriate treatment.
L-Glutamine Oral Therapy Reduces Sickle Cell-Related Pain Better Than Placebo
L-Glutamine oral treatment with or without hydroxyurea reduces pain crises better than placebo in individuals with sickle cell disease.
