Abstract: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic red blood cells (RBCs) disease lead to vaso-occlusion and hemolysis due to abnormal sickle shape and rigid RBCs [1]. Patients with SCA usually suffer from attacks of vaso-occlusive pain, poor quality of life [1,2]. About 275000 individuals suffer of SCA as new cases annually as estimated by WHO [3-5]. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an incurable chronic medical problem with homozygous for hemoglobin S (HbS) [6] that induce tissue ischemia and infarction due to vascular occlusion that initiates inflammatory responses [7,8].
