Red blood cell mechanical sensitivity improves in patients with sickle cell disease undergoing long-term transfusion after prolonged, subhemolytic shear exposure.
CONCLUSION: We found that long-term transfusion therapy normalizes the MS threshold above which RBC subhemolytic damage occurs after prolonged shear exposure in SCD. An important and novel finding in transfused patients with SCD was the improvement in RBC deformability in response to prolonged shear exposure over the physiologic range.
