Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is characterized by a single mutation in the ²-globin gene, resulting in abnormal hemoglobin (HbS), which polymerizes under low oxygen concentrations. In situations of low oxygen concentrations, hemoglobin polymerizes and red blood cells assume an elongated sickle-like shape, in an event known as sickling. Angiogenesis is the process of vessel formation from pre-…
Elevated Plasma Free Hemoglobin (PFHb) occurs in hemolytic anemia and is associated with a reduced half live of circulating erythrocytes. Sickle cell disease (SCD), hereditary spherocytosis (HS), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) all share some complications caused by excess PFHb. SCD is characterized by a single mutation in the beta globin gene resulting in an anomalous hemog…
