Throughout the lifespan, the kidney of a person with sickle cell disease is at increased risk of injury to the glomeruli, tubules, and renal vasculature. This injury manifests as urine concentrating defects, enuresis, albuminuria, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage kidney disease. The outcomes for patients who progress to end-stage kidney disease are poor and access to organ transplantation is limited. Therefore, identifying risk factors for progression, intervening with renoprotective agents early in life, and improving access to care are vital for sickle cell patients.
在整个生命周期中,镰状细胞病患者的肾脏发生肾小球、肾小管和肾血管损伤的风险增加。这种损伤表现为尿液浓缩功能缺陷、遗尿、蛋白尿、急性肾损伤、慢性肾病和终末期肾病。进展至终末期肾病的患者预后较差,器官移植的机会有限。因此,识别疾病进展的风险因素、在生命早期使用肾脏保护药物进行干预以及改善医疗服务的可及性对镰状细胞病患者至关重要。
