The Endocrine Society guidelines suggest stopping therapy if the hematocrit increases to 54 %. the concentration of Hb level is known to influence the blood viscosity and its decrease always improved rheology in sickle cell disease patients; the mean corpuscularHb concentration is a critical factor concerning the HbS molecule polymerization in sickle cell disease, and its slight reduction may have an important biological effect. When applied before iron overload becomes severe, this treatment also prevents complications of iron overload, including hepatic cirrhosis, primary liver cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, joint disease, and cardiomyopathy. 2006;81(10):760-767.
