| dc.description.abstract | Twenty one children admitted to the Kenyatta National
Hospital with sickle cell anaemia were studied with the aim
of detecting the renal defects associated with this haemogloblnopathy.
In a controlled study investigation was limited to simple,
non-invasiva techniques which included urine analysis and
culture, determination of creatinine clearance and urine flow
rate, and a urine concentration test.
Patients in sickle cell crisis were shown to have a reduced
GFR and urine flow rate. A urine concentration impairment
which has been shown in other studies was confirmed. Further
study on gYaonephri tis in sickle cell disease was recommended | en_US |
