Renal function in patients over 40 with homozygous sickle-cell disease.
Renal function was examined in 25 patients aged 40-64 with homozygous sickle-cell (SS) disease. Investigations included intravenous urography and measurement of blood urea and creatinine concentrations and creatinine and protein excretion in 24-hour collections of urine. Serum creatinine concentrations did not differ significantly from those of 25 other patients with SS disease aged 18-39 years...
متن کاملSteady state hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume in homozygous sickle cell disease patients in Lagos, Nigeria
Background: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atte...
متن کاملAngioid streaks in Jamaican patients with homozygous sickle cell disease.
Angioid streaks were observed in 21 of 242 patients with homozygous sickle cell disease. Two morphological types were observed. There is no evidence that angioid streaks in Jamaican patients are related to pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
متن کاملAbnormal venous function in patients with homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease and chronic leg ulcers.
Chronic leg ulceration is a major cause of morbidity in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease in Jamaica. These ulcers have features in common with venous ulcers in patients with a normal haemoglobin genotype (AA). Thus we sought to determine whether there is abnormal venous function in the legs of patients with SS disease who have ulcers. Experiments were performed on 15 SS patients with ulcers,...
متن کاملAlbuminuria and renal function in homozygous sickle cell disease: observations from a cohort study.
BACKGROUND The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease is supranormal in childhood but falls steeply with age, often culminating in renal failure. The risk factors underlying these observations are unclear. We therefore sought to investigate the relationships between blood pressure, renal hemodynamics, and urinary albumin excretion in subjects with SS disease and...
