Renal manifestations among adult sickle cell disease patients: a single center study in Khartoum, Sudan
Date
2016
Abstract
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in adults is one of the causes of renal abnormalities and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). In this retrospective study, we explore the renal manifestations among adult SCD patients. The subjects of the study are all adult patients diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia and admitted as to the Academy Charity Teaching Hospital, Khartoum/Sudan during the period (01/01/2015-31/12/2015). All adult SCD patients’ medical files have been reviewed focusing on personal and clinical data in addition to presence or absence of renal manifestations, a total of 51 adult patients with SCD have been admitted to Academy Charity Teaching Hospital, Khartoum/ Sudan. 11 patients have renal manifestations (21.5%). The mean age ± SD of SCD patients with renal manifestations was 20.2 ± 1.9 years, 63.6% were males, the mean Hb level was 6.9 ± 0.99 gm/dl, proteinuria was present among 81.8% of patients, followed by haematuria (36.4%) and End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) (18.2%). Further prospective studies are needed to explore the renal abnormalities among adult SCD patients.
