Sickle cell disease is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, painful crisis called vaso-occlusive crisis and chronic inflammation. Activated platelets of Sickle cell disease patients participated to both chronic inflammation and painful vaso-occlusive crisis . The main aim of this study is to characterize the contribution of Nucleotide-binding domain Leucine Rich repeat containing Protein 3 inflammasome in platelets' activation in Sickle cell disease and to connect platelet activation, inflammation and sickle cell disease complication.
