Objective: Although Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is prevalent in Saudi-Arabia, there have been no data about the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) in adult patients suffering from SCD in the eastern region in KSA. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of low bone mineral density in adult patients with SCD in the eastern region in KSA and its association with other sickle cell disease manifestations.
