Patients suffering from sickle cell disease (SCD) present with multifactorial pathology, and a detailed understanding of it may help to develop novel therapeutics. In this study, the plasma elemental (24Mg, 44Ca, 57Fe, 63Cu, 66Zn, 77Se, 85Rb, 208Pb, and 39K) levels of SCD patients (n=10, male: 50%) and control groups (trait and healthy; n=10 each; male: 50%) were profiled using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Additionally, comparative global erythrocyte metabolomics of SCD...
