Abstract: | The response of the red cells from patients with sickle cell disease to hydrazine treatment in vitro is to inhibit the sickled morphology, while the metabolic characteristics and the osmotic fragility of the cells remain unaltered. However, the oxygen affinity of the sickle cell haemoglobin is decreased. |
