Pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines [e.g., inter leukin 1B (IL1B), CXCL8 (also termed IL8), TNF and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2, also termed MCP1)], are upregulated in haemolytic disorders such as SCD (Qari et al, 2012). This pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu is crucial in mediating the pro-coagulant effects of vascular endothelial cells and promotes localized inflammation and thrombosis (Qari et al, 2012).
