摘要
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a qualitative hemoglobinopathy that can cause widespread sickling and vaso occlusive events in all organ systems. Sickle cell hepatopathy is an umbrella term for various acute and chronic pathologies of the liver as a result of sickling in SCD patients. We present below the case of a 49 year-old woman who had an acute liver failure in the setting of a hepatic crisis with recovery after exchange transfusion. Hepatic involvement in SCD may be life-threatening. Understanding the etiology and severity of hepatic involvement by sickling is necessary for appropriate treatment.
