The early detection of sickle cell nephropathy & its treatment is essential for improving quality of life in these children. Objective: Current study aims at to study the features of renal involvement in sickle cell disease patients. Materials & Method: 81 consecutive cases admitted to hospital with sickle cell disease were studied by history, thorough examination & stepwise investigations including urine routine examination, culturesensitivity & concentration test; Blood urea and serum creatinine. Results: The mild proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, pyuria and casts had been noted in 19.5% (16 cases), 14.8% (12 cases), 19.5% (16 cases) and 4.9% (4 cases) of sickle cell disease patients respectively. The concentrating capacity of the tubules was significantly affected in children with sickle cell disease in elderly age groups.
