摘要
Renal involvement is common in homozygous sickle cell disease (HbSS), including glomerular hypertension and hypertrophy similar to that seen in rodent models of ablative nephrectomy and stage I diabetic nephropathy (DN). The proteinuria in the rodent models is attenuated by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI). Microalbuminuria (MA) is a sensitive marker for renal involvement in DN prior to the development of proteinuria, and is also attenuated with ACEI. Elevated urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratios (U Alb/Cr) >20 mg/g Cr are reported in 39%-43% of adults with HbSS, and studies are ongoing in this age group to assess the effect of attenuated proteinuria by ACEI on long-term renal function. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the prevalence of MA in children with HbSS and determine factors which affect its expression. U Alb/Cr values were measured on spot urine samples in 102 children (aged 2-18 years, mean 9.47+/-4.62, M:F=53:49) by rate nephelometry. Children with prior known proteinuria, hypertension, or fever/pain episode in the last 15 days were excluded. MA was present in 26.5% of all children with HbSS. However, in children between the ages of 10 and 18 years, the prevalence was 46% (similar to the prevalence in adults). There was a strong correlation between patient age and prevalence of MA (P<0.0001) by both univariate and multivariate analysis. However, pain frequency. hospitalization, transfusion program, ferritin levels, and Cr clearance (C-Cr) did not correlate with prevalence, although C-Cr las estimated by Schwartz formula) was elevated in all. We conclude that the prevalence of MA in the 2nd decade of life is similar to that in adults.
