Total oxidant status of children with sickle cell anaemia: Correlation with rate of pain episodes and haematological indices

Background: Total oxidative status (TOS) measures cumulative oxidant levels. In sickle cell anaemia (SCA), oxidative stress plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of vasoocclusive and haemolytic phenotypes. In this study, we evaluated serum levels of TOS in children with SCA and matched hea...
