ABSTRACT
To determine the effect of anemia due to genetic red cell defects on the value of plasma lipids, the level of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides was estimated in a group of 74 patients with sickle cell disease [39 Hb AS and 35 Hb SS] and 50 age and sex matched control group with normal haemo-globin [Hb AA]. The level of plasma cholesterol was lower in sickle cell patients as compared with the normal control group and the difference was found to be statistically significant [P < 0.001]. The possible role of hypocholesterolaemia in those patients was discussed
