Multiorgan failure during a sickle cell crisis in sickle/β+-thalassemia
2003
Abstract In contrast to the chronic nephropathy associated with sickle cell syndromes, acute renal failure and multiorgan dysfunction caused by acute sickling crisis are encountered infrequently. The authors present the first case of extensive multiorgan failure during a sickling episode in a patient with sickle/β + thalassemia. The authors also review the interaction of the thalassemias with sickle cell disease and outline the distinctive course of their patient in comparison with previous reports.
