Managing chronic leg ulcers due to sickle cell disorder require a holistic approach involving the general practitioner, haematologist, plastic surgeon, dietician, woind care specialist, mental health practitioners, and others.
This is the ideal
Over the past 5 months, I have been taking blood transfusion monthly instead of exchange blood transfusion,
Because my haemoglobin levels were lower than what's required for EBT (below 9mg/dl).
Chronic leg ulcers can cause blood loss, especially gradual blood loss as the ulcer persists for a longer period.
May God supply the sickle cell community all that we need to achieve holistic, safe, and quality care,
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
