Repeated blood transfusions in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) increases the risk of iron overload (IO), contributing to oxidative stress. Materials & methods: Blood samples of 15 SCA patients without IO (group 1) and 15 SCA patients with IO (group 2) and 30 healthy individuals were collected to investigate oxidative stress. IO was categorized using repeated measures of serum ferritin. The biomarkers evaluated were plasmatic malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrite and erythrocyte catalase. Results: MDA and nitrite were higher in group 2 than in group 1 and the healthy group (p < 0.001 for MDA and nitrite). Catalase presented lower in group 2 than group 1 and the healthy group (p < 0.001). We obtained a positive correlation between ferritin and MDA (r = 0.40; p < 0.02), and between ferritin and nitrite (r = 0359; p = 0.023). Conclusion: The results demonstrated that IO is an important risk factor for enhanced oxidative stress in SCA. |
