JP Haymann, K Stankovic, P Levy… - Clinical Journal of the …, 2010 - journals.lww.com
Background and objectives: Sickle cell anemia-associated nephropathy is a growing matter
of concern because renal failure affects most aging sickle cell anemia patients. Glomerular
damage is a common feature revealed by a microalbuminuria or a macroalbuminuria.
Although glomerular hyperfiltration has been described for decades in this population, its
prevalence in young adults is unknown.
