Prevalence and correlates of microalbuminuria in Yemeni children with sickle cell disease.
This study demonstrated a high prevalence of MA in Yemeni children with SCD, and affecting young children as early as 2.5 years of age. Screening for MA as one of the early renal injury markers in children with SCD may help in the prevention of permanent loss of renal function and subsequent renal insufficiency in adulthood.
