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.

Hepatitis

Inflammation of the liver.

Sickle cell disease can affect the liver by way of the disease process, including sickling in hepatic sinusoids, as well as its treatment, including repeated blood transfusions leading to hemosiderosis and hepatitis.

What distinguished our patient from those previously reported was his minimal exposure to therapeutic doses of meperidine in the setting of normal renal function, and no history of sickle cell anemia, cancer, hepatitis, or cirrhosis.
