Factors Associated with Microalbuminuria among Children with Sickle Cell Disease in a Tertiary Centre in South-South Nigeria.
This study provides insights into the factors associated with microalbuminuria in children with SCD in our setting and highlights the need for early screening for markers of CKD among children with SCD. Further research is needed to ascertain the potential benefits of addressing anaemia and reducing haemolysis in mitigating the occurrence of microalbuminuria among children with SCD.
