Haemato‐Urological Profile and Asymptomatic Urinary Tract Infection in Ghanaian Steady‐State Sickle Cell Disease Patients: A Case‐Control Study
This study has shown ASM-UTI to be common in adult SCD participants with higher rate in females. It has also showed that ASM-UTI can exist alongside other clinical states such as anemia, microalbuminuria, hematuria and proteinuria which are characteristics of kidney disease which can trigger crises in SCD participants.
