Abstract
Abstract: There is an increasing recognition of the need for a specialized hepatohematology program in countries with a high prevalence of sickle cell disease. This program would be tailored specifically for patients with sickle cell disease, addressing the unique challenges they face, including the management of liver and biliary complications, and hematological issues associated with their condition. By integrating hepatology and hematology expertise, we can improve knowledge of liver SCD-related diseases, and patient outcomes, enhance care coordination, and provide comprehensive management strategies for this vulnerable population. While the primary focus of this program is on SCD-related liver disease, there may be opportunities shortly to expand its scope to include patients with various hematological liver diseases.
期刊介绍：
The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology (SJG) is an open access peer-reviewed publication. Authors are invited to submit articles in the field of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, with a wide spectrum of coverage including basic science, epidemiology, diagnostics, therapeutics, public health, and standards of health care in relation to the concerned specialty. Review articles are usually by invitation. However review articles of current interest and a high standard of scientific value could also be considered for publication.
