FERNANDEZ AGUILA, Julio Dámaso; FERNANDEZ GONZALEZ, Claudia Tamara e DE LA CRUZ AVILES, Lázaro. Chronic organ dysfunction in patients with sickle cell anemia. Part I: cardiorespiratory manifestations. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1 Epub 14-Abr-2022. ISSN 1561-2996.
Introduction:
Currently, most patients with sickle cell disease reach adulthood. Chronic organ dysfunction constitutes the primary cause of death and represents a challenge in the management of these patients.
Objectives:
To analyze the general aspects of chronic organic dysfunction in patients with sickle cell disease and to delve into the cardiorespiratory ones.
Methods:
A review of the articles published in the last ten years was carried out using the PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar search engines. The search terms were: sickle cell anemia, organ dysfunction, mortality, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea.
Information analysis and synthesis:
With the increase in life expectancy, in the management of patients with sickle cell disease, early diagnosis and timely treatment of chronic organ dysfunction gain relevance. This is a process that begins in childhood, but becomes more apparent in adulthood. The most common cardiorespiratory manifestations with an impact on morbidity and mortality are: pulmonary hypertension and chronic lung disease. Aspects related to prevalence, diagnosis, implications in the evolution of patients and aspects related to their treatment are described.
Conclusions:
Pulmonary hypertension and chronic lung disease are frequent in patients with sickle cell disease. Both complications have a negative impact on the evolution of these patients and are associated with increased mortality. Early detection of these conditions allows therapeutic actions to be taken to reduce their consequences.
