dc.description.abstractErythrocytes from sickle cell anaemia (SCA) patients continuously produce larger amounts of pro-oxidants than normal cells. Oxidative stress seems to primarily affect the membrane and results in haemolysis. the use of antioxidants in vitro reduces the generation of pro-oxidants. To evaluate the impact of vitamins C (VitC) and E (VitE) supplementation in SCA patients, patients over 18years were randomly assigned to receive VitC 1400mg+VitE 800mg per day or placebo orally for 180d. Eighty-three patients were enrolled (44 vitamins, 39 placebo), median age 27 (1868) years, 64% female. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding clinical complications or baseline laboratorial tests. Sixty percent of the patients were VitC deficient, 70% were VitE deficient. Supplementation significantly increased serum VitC and E. However, no significant changes in haemoglobin levels were observed, and, unexpectedly, there was a significant increase in haemolytic markers with vitamin supplementation. in conclusion, VitC+VitE supplementation did not improve anaemia and, surprisingly, increased markers of haemolysis in patients with SCA and S-0-thalassaemia. the exact mechanisms to explain this findings and their clinical significance remain to be determined.en
