A2 - Novelli, Enrico M. PY - 2021 T2 - Sickle Cell Disease AB - Hemostatic activation is a hallmark of sickle cell disease (SCD). Cellular activation and hyperadhesion, sterile inflammation, hemolysis, and hemostatic activation contribute to a chronic coagulopathy that exacerbates during vaso-occlusive episodes. This chapter will review the main clinical manifestations of thrombophilia in SCD and explore its pathogenic mechanisms, including the role of whole blood cellular components in the activation of the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways, the main alterations of procoagulant and anticoagulant pathways in SCD, and the role of hemolysis and nitric oxide depletion, with their downstream effects on endothelial and mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, the role of established and novel therapeutic strategies will be discussed.
