Men with Sickle Cell Anemia and Priapism Exhibit Increased Hemolytic Rate, Decreased Red Blood Cell Deformability and Increased Red Blood Cell Aggregate Strength.
OBJECTIVES:To investigate the association between priapism in men with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and hemorheological and hemolytical parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Fifty-eight men with SCA (median age: 38 years) were included; 28 who had experienced priapism at least once during their life (priapi...
