dc.description.abstract | 56 sicklers attending the adult haematology clinic or
admitted to the Medical Wards - KNH were studied during the
period from December, 1981 to November.Patients studied
comprised 30 males and 26 females most of them young adults under
25 years 'Old. Hyperuricaemia in sickle cell disease, :reported
in the past (1,2,3) was a frequent finding in this study with
a prevalence of h7 G 9%e The hyperuricaemia was shown to be
related directly to the increased cell turnover due to haemolysis
in sickle cell disease (1).
Mean BUN, serum creatinine and electrolytes were normal
suggesting very low incidence of renal insufficiency in sickle
cell disease, (4,5,6)Q
Urine concentrating defect described in sickle cell
disease was confirmed in this study (6). Haematological
parameters were consistent with haemolytic anaemia . | en |
