Sickle Cell Disease and the Kidney: Filters Gone Awry
2022, Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :This study showed that higher mean hemoglobin levels and higher percent fetal hemoglobin were associated with improved urinary concentration. Chronic transfusion may also be associated with preserved urine concentration ability, but randomized clinical trials have not been conducted to assess this outcome.3,10,11 The data suggest that transfusions earlier in life are more beneficial than when started after the first decade of life.
Sickle cell nephropathy. Clinical manifestations and new mechanisms involved in kidney injury
2021, NefrologiaCitation Excerpt :Individuals with sickle cell trait carry a single allele affected by the hemoglobinopathy S mutation, while the other allele is normal. As observed by renal microangiography, they present distortion and destruction of the vasa rectus, although considerably less than patients with SCD.46 However, according to a meta-analysis published in 2018, hematuria is 2 times more frequent than in SCD.17
Sickle cell disease: Clinical presentation and management of a global health challenge
2019, Blood ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Vaso-occlusion causes ischaemia in the renal medulla. Contributing factors include volume depletion due to hyposthenuria, frequent and chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), infections, massive haemolysis and rhabdomyolysis [150–152]. Recent studies have established an association between episodes of acute kidney injury and progression to chronic kidney disease [153–157].
Renal papillary necrosis in patients with sickle cell disease: How to recognize this ‘forgotten’ diagnosis
2017, Journal of Pediatric UrologyCitation Excerpt :This increased permeability will result in red blood cells leaking into the collecting system. Subsequently, the number of vasa recta will be reduced and the normal medullary architecture will be lost [11]. RPN has an incidence of up to 50% in patients with sickle cell trait.
