Implication

Observational analysis showed reduced fetal hemoglobin correlates with higher red blood cell inclusions in sickle cell disease, suggesting impaired splenic function.

Key Points

Sickle cell disease patients had significantly higher red blood cell inclusions compared to healthy controls, indicating splenic dysfunction.
Fetal hemoglobin negatively correlated with levels of inclusions, suggesting a protective role in splenic function.
Imaging flow cytometry was employed for an objective assessment of red blood cell inclusions using fewer blood samples.
The approach highlights the potential of this method as a reliable marker for evaluating splenic filtration function in sickle cell disease.
