Jk(a) (Kidd-A) Variant in a Sickle Cell Disease Patient.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic and prevalent hemoglobin disorder with various manifestations and complications depending on the organs involved. Red cell transfusion either simple or exchange is crucial due to its prophylactic and therapeutic roles. We present a case showing serologic discrepancy between the red cells phenotype and the developed alloantibodies to emphasize the crucial role of molecular testing in SCD patients requiring chronic blood transfusion.
