In the U.S., only half of Sickle Cell patients survive past the age of 40. A bone marrow transplant can functionally cure the disease, even though the patient still carries the gene, but few people find a matching donor. And there’s significant risk associated with the transplant itself. Research at the University of Louisville is changing that and already changing young lives.
Internal Medicine Report: A new prospective study of pain in adults with sickle cell disease finds that daily pain is far more prevalent and severe than previous large studies have indicated. Authors of the study gave diaries to 232 sickle cell disease patients to record daily pain and indicate whether they used hospital emergency or unscheduled ambulatory care for their pain. Previous estimates about sickle cell pain assumed that if patients didn’t go to the hospital or seek medical care for pain, they didn’t have pain. Previous sickle cell treatments also were based on the number of visits to hospitals to relieve pain.
