What is your target Hgb/Hct for women who are pregnant and have sickle cell disease in whom you are doing scheduled transfusions?

Answer from: at Academic Institution

Answer from: at Community Practice

Hg 10-11. My main goal is to suppress reticulocytosis and therefore, the production of more sickled cells.
