Decreased hepcidin levels are associated with low steady-state hemoglobin in children with sickle cell disease in Tanzania
<strong>Background</strong> The contribution of hepcidin as a regulator of iron metabolism & erythropoiesis on the severity of anemia in sickle cell disease (SCD) remains poorly characterized, especially in Sub-Saharan African populations. The aims of the study were to determine...
