Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary condition characterized by homozygosis of the hemoglobin S (HbS) gene. Marked morbimortality is observed due to chronic hemolysis, endothelial injury, and episodes of vaso-occlusion, which leads to multi-organ damage. Renal impairment is common and may have different presentations, such as deficiency in urinary acidification or concentration, glomerulopathies, proteinuria, and hematuria, frequently resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Novel biomarkers of renal function, such as kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) are being studied in order to enable early diagnosis of kidney damage in SCD.
镰状细胞病(SCD)是一种遗传性疾病,其特征是血红蛋白 S(HbS)基因的纯合子。由于慢性溶血、内皮损伤和血管阻塞发作,导致多器官损伤,因此观察到明显的发病率和死亡率。肾脏损害很常见,可能有不同的表现,如尿酸化或浓缩功能缺陷、肾小球病变、蛋白尿和血尿,常导致终末期肾病(ESRD)。目前正在研究肾损伤分子 1(KIM-1)、中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白(NGAL)和单核细胞趋化蛋白 1(MCP-1)等新型肾功能生物标志物,以便能够早期诊断 SCD 中的肾脏损伤。
