It is crucial for aclinician to recognize this important complication and take necessary precautions to delay progression to end-stage renaldisease.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) tend to develop many renal abnormalities, including concentration defect, renalpapillary necrosis, and glomerulopathy that often presents with proteinuria.

Özet
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) tend to develop many renal abnormalities, including concentration defect, renalpapillary necrosis, and glomerulopathy that often presents with proteinuria. We report a case of a patient who presentedwith sickle cell crisis and proteinuria. A diagnosis of SCD glomerulopathy was confirmed with renal biopsy. Treatment withangiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor was initiated, and proteinuria rapidly reduced to 0.27 g/day. It is crucial for aclinician to recognize this important complication and take necessary precautions to delay progression to end-stage renaldisease.
