Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Registrating vitamin deficiencies in the patient group compared to the control group. After giving consent, patients will provide an additional blood sample—up to 30 ml—during a blood draw already scheduled for routine care. We will perform additional laboratory tests concerning vitamin status, amino acids and blood lipids. We will also ask the patient about lifestyle and diet and we will ask for measurable signs of disease activity, like anemia or crisis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Registration of the influence of vitamin deficiencies on the clinical course. A documentation of disease activity will be made. Therefore measurable signs of disease will be documented and compared, like Hemoglobin levels or pain crisis.
