From: Intestinal injury and gut permeability in sickle cell disease
Comparison between individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) and controls with iron deficiency anemia of comparable hemoglobin. a SCD patients had higher levels of serum iFABP compared to controls, indicating the presence of intestinal injury in SCD. b SCD patients had higher levels of serum LPS compared to controls, indicating increased amounts of bacterial products being translocated across SCD intestinal barrier to the systemic circulation. c SCD patients had higher levels of soluble CD62L compared to controls, indicating increased peripheral neutrophil activations in SCD.
