Glomerular Involvement in Adults with Sickle Cell Hemoglobinopathies

Abstract: Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) may develop a glomerulopathy with proteinuria and progressive renal insufficiency, leading to ESRD. Albuminuria is a sensitive marker of glomerular damage in this population and precedes the development of renal insufficiency. For determination of the prevalence of glomerular damage in SCA and the clinical correlates of renal insufficiency, 300 adult patients with SCA were studied (hemoglobin SS ‫؍‬ 184; and 116 with other sickling hemoglobinopathies: SC, SD, and S-␤ thal… Show more

“…The endpoint of this hyperfiltration is glomerular scarring with progressive loss of renal function. Glomerular injury is evident in adults with SCD, with up to 50% of this patient group showing evidence of hyperfiltration and 21-27% having CKD, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <90 mL/min/ 1.73 m 2 [9][10][11][12]. The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the adult SCD population has been estimated to be between 4 and 12%, with a mean time to ESRD of 37 years [12,13].…”

“…For patients under 12 years of age, we used the Schwartz formula [23], which does not take weight into account in its estimation. These formulae for GFR were used because excessive and wide-ranging results were obtained in children and adults using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study formula, which lacks a weight term, was designed for creatinines from 1.2 to 7.0 mg/dl, and has never been validated in a sickle cell population [24,25].…”

“…19 Markers of hemolysis have been associated with kidney disease in some [26][27][28][29][30] but not all [31][32][33] SCD cohorts. Hemoglobinuria, determined by urine dipstick analysis, has been observed in 15-42% of adults with SCD, [34][35][36] and is associated with elevated markers of hemolysis and risk of CKD progression.…”
