Figure 1

Liver biopsy (H&E stain), high power view. Note the presence of sickled red blood cells within the sinusoids and sinusoidal congestion by sickled red blood cells. There is also mild atrophy of hepatocytes, indicative of mild chronic hypoxia due to vascular flow impediment by aggregated sickled red blood cells.
