Red Cell Life Span in Sickle Cell Trait

Abstract
Red cell life span was measured in 5 subjects with sickle cell trait using both 51Cr and DF32P as red cell tags. All were otherwise normal except for one who had pernicious anemia in remission under maintenance therapy.The T 1/251Cr was 30.3 + 1.8 days. The mean cell life with DF32P was 107.4 + 12.3 days. Red cell life span in subjects with sickle cell trait residing at sea level is normal.
