How are men and women with sickle cell disease treated when they have iron overload?
These patients as with any other patients suffering from a transfusion dependant anaemia could be at serious risk of iron overload. This is a serious side effect of transfusion and can shorten lives significantly if not addressed. It can also exacerbate some of the symptoms of Sickle Cell Anaemia. So, the way that this is managed is with a drug called an Iron chelator. There are two to choose from at the moment, and I am sure the most preferable would be a drug which is taken once a day as a tablet dispersed in water (the other option is a 8-12hour infusion every day).

Is sickle cell disease more common in boys or girls?
The incidence of sickle cell disease is equal in both men and women. However, it is believed that men who have the disease experience worse symptoms than women with the disease. A possible reason for this is the role of oestrogen in the female body. Oestrogen helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide. Scientists believe that nitric oxide has a key role to play in reducing the symptoms of a sickle cell crisis as it dilates blood vessels, giving the sickle shaped cells more room to pass through the vessels, preventing blockages which is the cause of sickle cell crisis.
