Abstract:

Sickle cell nephropathy is defined as structural and functional abnormalities of kidney function seen in patients with Sickle cell haemoglobinopathy (SCA or Sickle cell Disease; SCD) in the absence of other secondary causes of kidney disease is common and contributes to mortality (CIN 2011). Sickle cell nephropathy consists of a variety of renal abnormalities, i.e. tubular changes and glomerulopathy .The hallmark  of sickle cell nephropathy  is the combination of an impaired renal concentrating capacity and a normal diluting capacity.Maximum number of patient were in the age group between 15-25 years in patients of Sickle cell disease with nephropathy and Sickle cell disease without nephropathy. The mean age in our study was 25.31 ± 8.47 years and the mean age   in patients of sickle cell disease with nephropathy was 29.26 ± 9.30 years, while it was 21.36 ± 9.30 in patients of sickle cell disease without nephropathy.16 (53.33%) were male and 14 (46.67%) were female.
