Evaluation of Hydration Status, Sodium and Fluid Intake in Children with Sickle Cell Anaemia

Ruth Williams-Hooker

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited condition of chronic hemolytic anemia that includes several different genotypes. People with SCA are encouraged to drink extra fluids in order to prevent dehydration that may lead to red cell sickling and consequently more serious problems. Proper hydration is an important factor in maintaining homeostasis in the body; it is necessary to regulate body temperature, maintain energy levels, aid digestion and eliminate toxins.
