Sickle cell tests help diagnose sickle cell anemia, an inherited disorder that leads to the production of the abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S.
sickle cell diseasepregnancytransfusionProphylactic exchange transfusion is of uncertain value in pregnancy complicated by sickle cell disease (SCD), and there is a lack of laboratory tests to monitor its effect and determine the optimal number and frequency of transfusions. In a prospective study of...

Sickle cell disease refers to a group of disorders resulting from mutations in the hemoglobin gene that can lead to deformation of the red blood cell (RBC) into a crescent, or sickle, shape. From: Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2008 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
Two cases of sickle-cell anemia have been presented. One patient was treated on an inpatient basis, whereas the other was treated as an outpatient. Both patients were evaluated by medical consultants, and all indicated laboratory tests performed in each case. Each patient was covered with suitable...
The global sickle cell anemia testing and screening market size was estimated at USD 425.7 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2025 to 2030
Even routine laboratory tests are occasionally inconclusive, for sickled red blood cells are found in patients with the asymptomatic sickle-cell trait. In 1957, Goodman, von Sallmann, and Holland1 described for the first time vascular loops and segments which were found near the limbus in several...
Sickle Cell Disease (Clinical) Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic disorders in which an abnormal Hb molecule (Hb S) transforms RBCs into sickle-shaped cells, resulting in chronic anemia, vasoocclusive episodes, pain, and organ damage. Sickle cell trait, which is the heterozygous...
Cholelithiasis is a common clinical condition in patients with sickle cell disease and there are conflicting reports on laboratory indices useful in predicting those patients who are likely to have gallstones. There is however lack of similar studies from Kenya. We therefore studied the role of clin...
