Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Introduction: Nigeria has the greatest global burden of sickle cell disease (SCD), a hereditary illness that is common among persons of African origin.Understanding the etiology of the disease depends on biomarkers like fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) and C-reactive protein (CRP).Comparing these markers between SCD patients and non-SCD people may reveal information for better disease management.Aim/Objectives: This study compared the levels of fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) and Creactive protein (CRP) in SCD patients and non-SCD patients at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State.
