Abstract excerpt
Albuminuria predicts kidney disease progression in individuals with sickle cell anaemia (SCA); however, earlier prediction of kidney disease with introduction of reno-protective therapies prior to the onset of albuminuria may attenuate disease progression. A genetic risk score (GRS) for SCA-related nephropathy may provide an improved one-time test for early identification of high-risk patients. We utilized a GRS...
