چکیده
Herrick [1] was the first to discover sickle cell hemoglobin ( 2 2) with sickle-shaped erythrocytes. In 1910, he described the case of a young black student from the West Indies with severe anemia characterized by “peculiar elongated and sickle-shaped red blood corpuscles.” Herrick also noted a slightly increased volume of urine of low specific gravity and thus observed the most frequent feature of sickle cell nephropathy: inability of the kidney to concentrate urine normally.

Background Sickle cell nephropathy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Proteinuria contributes to progression of renal damage. Icroalbuminuria is an early feature of SCN and progression to advanced kidney damage is delayed if regression is achieved with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. We aimed to ...

Renal abnormalities in sickle cell disease. Sickle cell nephropathy is indicated by sickled erythrocytes, with the consequent effects of decreased medullary blood flow, ischemia, microinfarct and papillary necrosis. Impaired urinary concentrating ability, renal acidification, hematuria, and potassium secretion are also found. There may be a causal relationship between an increase in nitric oxid...

Nephropathy may develop in patients with sickle cell disease and, characterized by proteinuria and predominantly glomerular lesions, has not been as extensively studied as renal tubular alteration in sickle cell disease. Many factors could play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. It has been shown that 25% of patients with sickle cell disease have proteinuria and the glomerula...

Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a common complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). It has variable presentation, ranging from hyposthenuria to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Management of ESRD in SCD patients is froth with multiple challenges which has potential to impact negatively the outcome of the patient. Kidney transplant is the preferred renal replacement therapy in these patients. Th...

Sickle cell nephropathy is a common presentation in patients with sickle cell disease. End-stage kidney disease is the most severe presentation of sickle cell nephropathy in terms of morbidity and mortality. Sickle cell disease patients with end-stage kidney disease are amenable to renal replacement therapy including kidney transplant. Kidney transplant in these patients has been associated wit...
