POS-410 PREVALENCE OF RENAL MANEFSTATION AND HYPERTENSION AMONG CHILDREN WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE; A SINGLE-CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive inherited blood disorder. A broad spectrum of renal abnormalities is associated with sickle cell disease. The renal impact of sickle cell disease among children remains an under-investigated area, especially the prevalence of pediatric hypertension among this group. We aim to determine to describe the renal manifestations in children with heterozygous and homozygous SCD in Saudi Arabia, including assessment of their office blood pressures.
