Abstract
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is associated with an increased risk of bone complications that lead to significant long-term morbidity. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common complication of children with SCA vaso-occlusive crises (VOC) and may exacerbate bone disease. We evaluated the prevalence of sickle-cell related mineral bone disease (sMBD) in children with SCA hospitalized for a painful VOC based on the presence of AKI and other kidney abnormalities.
