Klotho: its various functions and association with sickle cell disease subphenotypes
The Klotho protein, whose gene has predominant renal expression, acts in the control of serum phosphorus and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and regulates the function of ion channels. It also participates in the mechanism of protection against oxidative stress and acts on the vascular endothelium by inducing the production of nitric oxide. Mutations that reflect defects in the Klotho gene expression ...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...

Materials and Methods: In this descriptive epidemiologic study, between September 2013 and September 2015, 8363 newborn blood samples were test...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemia and right ventricular dysfunction in adult patients with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have multi-organ manifestations of microvascular disease, though cardiac manifestations have been poorly characterized in vivo. This study sought to characterize myocardial characteristics in adult patients with SCD. DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-two consecutive outpatients and 11 age-matched controls underwent magnetic resonance i...
متن کاملCatheter‐related right atrial thrombus in sickle cell disease
Catheter-related right atrial thrombus (CRAT) can occur in patients with sickle cell disease, particularly if additional risk factors for thrombosis are present. Cardiac MRI may differentiate thrombi from other types of atrial masses. Treatment should include anticoagulation and the timing of catheter removal should balance the potential risk of embolization.
