Abstract
Background: Red blood cells are sources for oxidants in Sickle cell anaemia, a genetic disorder of itself. Heme iron and oxygen in oxygenated hemoglobin have bonding interaction and association with electron transfer. In response, antioxidant has modus operandi to reduce oxidative stress and damage to RBC and tissue.
 The studies on biochemical indicators for oxidative stress in sickle cell would further enhance the understanding and present knowledge of effects of antioxidants on the status of iron metabolism and consequent relief to the sickle cell anaemia patients.
 Objectives: To evaluate oxidative stress and Antioxidant levels and iron indices factors in heterozygous and homozygous sickle cell disease patients and compare between them along with normal healthy control and Iron Deficiency anaemia
 Methodology: Comparative Cross-Sectional Study is designed to explore specific antioxidant levels and oxidative stress along with Iron Indices among sickle cell anaemia diagnosed cases attending/admitted in the department of Medicine, Paediatrics and Community Medicine at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and its Hospital, Sawangi, Meghe, along with age and sex matched healthy individuals from general population.
 Results: Oxidative stress as evaluated by stress markers may be higher among the Homozygous sickle cell disease than among the Heterozygous.
 Conclusion: Oxidative stress may be compounded in sickle cell diseases patients in conjugation with iron deficiency.
Highlights
Oxidative stress may be compounded in sickle cell diseases patients in conjugation with iron deficiency
Red blood cells are the sources of free radicals in Sickle cell anaemia
Iron extricated by haemolysis is obtained for recirculation and iron deficiency is less common, in turn iron stores increases owing to blood transfusion [1], but still some studies shows iron deficiency in untransmuted patients [2]
Summary
Red blood cells are the sources of free radicals in Sickle cell anaemia. RBC’s compact with redox-active haemoglobin having rich oxygen supply. The bonding intercommunication within heme iron and oxygen in oxygenated haemoglobin is connected with electron transfer With these antioxidants help to reduce oxidative stress and Injury to RBC and tissue. The studies on biochemical indicators for oxidative stress in sickle cell would further enhance the understanding and present knowledge of effects of antioxidants on the status of iron metabolism and consequent relief to the sickle cell anaemia patients. Objectives: To evaluate oxidative stress and Antioxidant levels and iron indices factors in heterozygous and homozygous sickle cell disease patients and compare between them along with normal healthy control and Iron Deficiency anaemia Methodology: Comparative Cross-Sectional Study is designed to explore specific antioxidant levels and oxidative stress along with Iron Indices among sickle cell anaemia diagnosed cases attending/admitted in the department of Medicine, Paediatrics and Community Medicine at Wasnik et al.; JPRI, 33(60B): 2671-2679, 2021; Article no.JPRI.80094. Conclusion: Oxidative stress may be compounded in sickle cell diseases patients in conjugation with iron deficiency
