Abstract
Sickle cell disease is a common hereditary blood disorder characterized by endothelial dysfunction, tissue ischemia, and systemic inflammation, with significant morbidity and increased mortality. Only recently had the sleep disturbances in general, and sleep-disordered breathing in particular, received attention as potential contributors to sickle cell disease manifestations and clinical outcomes. In this chapter, we will critically review in detail the potential epidemiological links between SCD and sleep disorders, focusing on the SDB, and explore the overlapping pathophysiological considerations and their potential impact on clinical phenotype and course.
