Importance of Chronic Management in Sickle Cell Disease
Chronic management of sickle cell disease is crucial, especially in outpatient settings where many healthcare professionals may not have extensive exposure. Understanding the various medications available for managing chronic complications is essential for hematologists, particularly when co-managing patients from a distance. Historically, treatment options were limited, but advancements have introduced a variety of medications that play significant roles in patient care today. Continuous education on these therapies enables healthcare providers to effectively restart and manage home medications for patients with sickle cell disease.
