Flashcard 972: People with sickle cell trait may develop _____ infarction in the setting of physiologic stressors (dehydration, air travel, sepsis)

Answer: splenic

Extra: Splenic infarction in sickle cell trait is typically triggered by extreme stressors such as severe hypoxia (e.g., high altitude, unpressurized air travel), severe dehydration (e.g., strenuous exercise), or severe acidosis (e.g., sepsis). Under normal physiological conditions, individuals with sickle cell trait are asymptomatic.
