sickle cell disease patients
Sickle cell disease patients included in the study and Plasma DNA levels will be analyzed and compared in patients with a reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) < 1.67 (endothelial dysfunction) assessed by Endo-PAT 2000 versus those recorded in patients with a RHI ≥ 1.67 (no endothelial dysfunction).

Procedure: micro- and macro-circulatory vascular remodelling measures not practice in routine care
Vascular measures : reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) assessed by Endo-PAT, central aortic blood pressure, aortic augmentation index, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity Procedure: Biological measures not practice in routine care Biological measures : Plasma DNA level, NETs (plasma nucleosome levels), Microparticules (MPs) (total, associated with red blood cells, neutrophils, platelets), haem (total and bound to MPs), Myeloperoxydase and elastase activity, neutrophils/DNA, Annexin A5, RNA and TSP1 |
- Comparison of plasma DNA levels in patients with a reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) < 1.67 (endothelial dysfunction) assessed by Endo-PAT 2000 versus those recorded in patients with a RHI ≥ 1.67 (no endothelial dysfunction) [ Time Frame: 1 days ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and cerebral micro- and macro-angiopathy assessed by CT angiography or MRI angiography and transcranial Doppler ultrasound [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and cardiac damages [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and pulmonary blood pressure [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and macrocirculatory vascular measurements [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and nephropathy [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
- Relationship between plasma DNA levels and a clinical index of the sickle cell disease severity in a stable condition [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
