AB Patients  with  homozygous  sickle  cell  anemia  and  alpha-thalassemia  have  less  vigorous  hemolysis  and  run  higher  hemoglobins  than  SS  patients  due  to  reduced  red  blood  cell  sickling  related  to  a  lower  hemoglobin  concentration  within  the  red  blood  cell  and  higher  hemoglobin  F  levels  (Table  13–9).  The  MCV  is  low,  and  the  red  cells  are  hypochromic.
