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.

沙特阿拉伯镰状细胞病患者对肝脏血液学项目的新需求

摘要：在镰状细胞病高发的国家，越来越多的人认识到需要一个专门的肝血液学项目。该项目将专门为镰状细胞病患者量身定制，解决他们面临的独特挑战，包括肝脏和胆道并发症的管理，以及与他们的病情相关的血液学问题。通过整合肝病学和血液学专业知识，我们可以提高对肝脏scd相关疾病和患者预后的认识，加强护理协调，并为这一弱势群体提供全面的管理策略。虽然该项目的主要重点是scd相关肝病，但不久可能有机会扩大其范围，包括各种血液学肝病患者。
