ASSESSMENT OF THROMBOSPONDIN-1 IN SICKLE CELL VASOOCCLUSIVE CRISIS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PLATELET INDICES AND INFLAMMATION.
Elevation of TSP-1 during VOC indicates its potential as a biomarker for crisis episodes. In SS patients, TSP-1 is associated with platelet indices, suggesting its role in platelet activation. WBC is a key predictor of TSP-1 variability, emphasizing the influence of inflammation.
