DOI: 10.1016/j.jtumed.2019.02.007
Abstract: Objective Sickle cell disease is one of the most common inherited hemoglobinopathies in the world. Chronic haemolysis predisposes individuals to the development of bilirubinate cholelithiasis, which can be asymptomatic or can result in cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejh.13212
Abstract: Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is the consequence of abnormal haemoglobin production due to an inherited point mutation in the β‐globin gene. The resulting haemoglobin tetramer is poorly soluble when deoxygenated, and when this is prolonged,… read more here.
