Abstract
En 中文
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, leading to the formation of sickle-shaped red blood cells, causing vaso-occlusion. Inflammation is a key component of the pathophysiology of SCD, contributing to the vascular complications and tissue damage. This review is centered on exploring the role of the inflammatory complement system in the pathophysiology of SCD. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive summary of the existing evidence regarding complement activation in patients with SCD, encompassing both steady-state conditions and episodes of vaso-occlusive events. Additionally, we will discuss the proposed mechanisms by which the complement system may contribute to tissue injury in this pathology. Finally, we will provide an overview of the available evidence concerning the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions aimed at blocking the complement system in the context of SCD and discuss the perspective of complement inhibition.
