Sickle cell disease is linked to silent strokes in children
A recent study showed that children with sickle cell anemia (a genetic disorder in the blood) and who also are infected with high blood pressure and anemia increases the likelihood of silent stroke.
The researchers say that the silent stroke, which does not have any symptoms, which usually appear in the elderly and that these results give an additional reason for that happening to the children who suffer from sickle cell anemia.
The researchers conducted magnetic resonance imaging of the brains of 814 children infected with sickle cell disease ranging in age from 5 to 15 years and found that 31% of them infected with silent stroke. None of the children a history of ischemic strokes or heart attacks did not appear in any child any of the symptoms of stroke during the study period.
After studying the medical history of children, the researchers concluded the researchers anemia or high blood pressure increase the risk of stroke and silent brain injury both, showed more increase in the risk of injury.
Among the participants in the study were children who had higher systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) more than 113 and less percentage of hemoglobin (less from 7.6 grams per Dsiltr) the risk of stroke silent more than four times compared to those who have had less pressure systolic blood hemoglobin and the highest rate. Hemoglobin in the blood is Berutin Almsaúl the transfer of oxygen is known as anemia, decrease the level of hemoglobin.
The researchers found children who have higher blood pressure readings were more likely to have silent stroke by 1.7 times compared with children who have lower blood pressure readings. The risk was more than twice I have children who have a lower blood level of hemoglobin compared to children who have high levels of blood hemoglobin.
The researchers said these findings highlight the need to identify children who suffer from sickle cell disease who have early signs of anemia and high blood pressure, or both, which is one of the factors that can be controlled.
