Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress is linked to sickle cell anemia (SCA) and is influenced by genetic factors like alpha-thalassemia, which appears to reduce certain oxidative stress indicators in affected children.
- A study of 301 Senegalese SCA children revealed that oxidative stress biomarkers (like CAT and MDA) were significantly different compared to healthy controls, with specific gene variants affecting these levels and clinical severity of the disease.
- Notably, children with earlier complications had different antioxidant enzyme levels, suggesting a complex relationship between genetics, oxidative stress, and SCA severity.
In Senegal, nephrotic syndrome usually occurs upon malnutrition that confers it its specificity and has brought us to establish the proteinic profile of Senegalese children suffering from it, in the aim to improve its treatment. Twenty children on the average of six years, hospitalized for nephrotic syndrome, were chosen. They were compared to 20 healthy children of the same age group, and 20 other children hospitalized for a non-renal inflammatory syndrome.
