Steady state haemoglobin level increases with the proportion of erythrocyte membrane n-3 fatty acids in sickle cell anaemia
Previous studies indicate that perturbation of erythrocyte and/or plasma lipids occurs in homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), and treatment with n-3 fatty acids (FA) is beneficial to affected individuals (Tomer et al, Thromb Haemost 2001; 966–974).
