Red blood cell fractions are administered to patients suflfering from severe anaemia, including patients with sickle cell anaemia and new born babies suflfering from haemolytic disease. 

Despite its considerable involvement in metabolic processes, no specific deficiency syndrome in humans has been attributed to vitamin B6 (19,103). A considerable number of nonvitamin functions have been suggested, but they remain controversial (102,103,108-111). These include roles in coronary heart disease, immune response, premenstrual syndrome, sickle-cell anaemia, asthma, autism, gestational diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, and cancer.

Numerous congenital or acquired diseases lead to haemolysis, (s. p. 218) (s. tab. 12.3) They are subsumed under the term haemolytic syndrome. Particularly, sickle-cell anaemia, thalassaemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria are worthy of mention in this context.

Rubifacient causing redness of the skin. Sialogogue an agent promoting the flow of saliva. Sickle Cell Anaemia hereditary disease due to the presence of a particular form of haemoglobin which causes deformities of the red blood cells. Sympatholytic substance which antagonises noradrenaline. 

The occurrence of some medical conditions (e.g. sickle cell anaemia, cystic filtrosis, manic depression, Alzheimer s disease) is known to be associated with genetic defects which are connected to the presence or absence of certain specific base sequences in the cell DNA content. 

Sickle cell disease and thalassaemia are examples of inherited haemolytic anaemias.
