Overview

Cross-sectional study found 25% prevalence of nephropathy in children with sickle cell anaemia, highlighting the need for early screening.

Key Points

  • Microalbuminuria prevalence was 25% among children with sickle cell anaemia in Calabar, Nigeria.
  • Urine albumin/creatinine ratio showed a significant negative correlation with steady state packed cell volume.
  • Cross-sectional study of 80 children aged 2 to 16 with sickle cell anaemia was conducted for data collection.
  • The findings support the need for early screening of microalbuminuria to detect nephropathy in this population.
