Assessment of Implementation of the Automated Erythrocytapheresis in the Outcome of Egyptian Sickle Cell Disease Patients: Single Center Experience

Who is this study for? Egyptian patients with sickle cell disease

Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Improvements of health infrastructure, preventive care and clinical treatment have reduced the morbidity and mortality of sickle cell disease (SCD). However, SCD is still an increasing national health problem, with increase longevity the chronic effect of sustained hemolysis and episodic vaso-occlusive events and the recurrent episodes of ischemic reperfusion injury drive the development of progressive end organ complications and cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and renal systems are most commonly affected. Today there is hope for a cure using hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, at present; the procedure is infrequently performed and very expensive. In this research we will assess the effect of implementation of the automated erythrocytapheresis in the outcome of sickle cell disease in single Egyptian center.
