Oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, biomolecule damage, and inflammation symptoms of sickle cell disease in children.

CONCLUSION: SCD children have high oxidative stress, and conversely, decreased antioxidant activity. Decrease in antioxidant activity might explained the reduction in lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation and increased inflammation, which in turn intensify the symptoms of SCD in children.
