Pulmonary function abnormalities in children with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND Adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) have restrictive lung function abnormalities which are thought to result from repeated lung damage caused by episodes of pulmonary vaso-occlusion; such episodes start in childhood. A study was therefore undertaken to determine whether children with SCD have restrictive lung function abnormalities and whether the severity of such abnormalities inc...

متن کاملComputed tomography and pulmonary function abnormalities in sickle cell disease.
The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in steady state had pulmonary abnormalities seen on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and whether any abnormalities correlated with contemporaneously diagnosed lung function abnormalities. A subsidiary question was whether the results of a noninvasive measure of haemolysis (end-tidal carbon monoxide ...
متن کاملProteinuria in children with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND Sickle cell nephropathy is characterized by proteinuria that starts in childhood and may lead to renal failure. Microalbuminuria is used as a marker of glomerular damage. There are no data on the extent and type of proteinuria other than microalbuminuria in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Our goal was characterization of glomerular permselectivity and tubular proteinuria in ...
