Zentrale Erkenntnis

Sickle cell disease affects 7.7 million worldwide, with over 75% of cases in Africa and 300,000 annual births in sub-Saharan Africa. Red blood cell exchange, an underutilized therapy, lowers sickle hemoglobin, prevents strokes, manages pain crises, and offers a repeatable alternative to bone marrow transplants without needing donors. Recent successful procedures highlight its potential to reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life.
