Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Hyperbilirubinemia

An increased amount of bilirubin in the blood.

A 27-year-old African American male with sickle-cell disease, maintained on chronic transfusion, was noted to have dark plasma during an erythrocytapheresis, procedure, and the pretransfusion hemoglobin was noted to be 1 g/dl lower than 4 weeks before (with hyperbilirubinemia and a significantly increased LDH).

Since the approach to the management and outcome of extreme hyperbilirubinemia in patients with sickle cell anemia is not clearly defined, we reviewed our experience with marked hyperbilirubinemia in six children with sickle cell disease.
