  • Title: Iron in sickle cell disease.
    Author: Das PK, Sarangi A, Satapathy M, Palit SK.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 1990 Nov; 38(11):847-9. PubMed ID: 2079471.
    Abstract:
    Iron deficiency anaemia was detected in 23% of cases with homozygous sickle cell disease. The aetiology of iron deficiency was similar to the other population in the community. High serum ferritin level was detected in 15.4% of the cases and was well correlated to the number of transfusions. Tissue haemosiderosis was not detected in any case. Patients with heterozygous sickle cell had either normal or low serum ferritin levels.
