Red cell transfusion in SCD is used in the treatment of acute sickle cell crises or to prevent certain long-term complications by reducing the proportion of HbS cells in the circulation (Tables 8.2 and 8.3). However, increasing the haematocrit above 30% increases the risk of hyperviscosity and vaso-occlusive events. Red cell exchange transfusion, automated or manual, can …
