Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase 5b in Young Patients With Sickle Cell Disease and Trait Siblings: Relation to Vasculopathy and Bone Mineral Density

Bone involvement is a frequent cause of acute morbidity in sickle cell disease (SCD). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP 5b), a bone resorption marker, is produced specifically by activated osteoclasts. We assessed bone mineral density (BMD) in 30 young patients with SCD and 17 asymptomat...
