Sickle cell disease, homozygous, heterozygous, C-reactive protein.Abstract
Sickle cell gene is widespread among many tribal and other general population groups in India. This disorder
is recessive in nature. The heterozygous [HbAS] are absolutely asymptomatic but the homozygous [HbSS]
suffer from serious complications leading to short life span. This may be due to vaso-occlusive crisis which
occurs in HbSS patient. The present study aimed to assess the importance of CRP, WBC count, Haemoglobin,
RBC and platelet count in sickle cell disease patient, measurement of these lifesaving parameters should
be done as routine follow up for patient with sickle cell disease to increase awareness among these patient.
About 30 sickle cell patient attending sickle cell OPD run by pathology department at Shri Vasantrao Naik
Govt Medical College Yavatmal are taken for the present study, their average age was 12 to 50 years. Any
diagnosed case of sickle cell disease having CBC and HPLC already done and presenting in painful crisis
were approached with a request to participate in our study. Less than 5 ml of blood is withdrawn from cubital
vein of sickle cell patient in a plane bulb for CRP estimation. In this test highest dilution of serum showing
agglutination 0.6 ml/dl is taken as highly sensitive
Comparison of above parameters in CRP positive and CRP negative HbSS and HbAS patients shows that the
values of haemoglobin, RBC, WBC and Platelet are highly significant in CRP+ve HBSS patient as compare
to CRP-ve HBAS pt.
