ABSTRACT
Background:
Dyslipidaemia is reported to occur in patients with sickle cell disease as well as patients with chronic kidney disease irrespective of the haemoglobin genotype. This study aimed at evaluating lipid profile in subjects with sickle cell anaemia (HbSS); sickle cell trait (HbAS) and normal haemoglobin genotype (HbAA); and comparing the lipid parameters between sickle cell disease patients with and those without chronic kidney disease.Methods:
A total of 66 patients with chronic kidney disease 26 HbAA; 24 HbAS and 16 HbSS and 60 apparently healthy controls were recruited for the study. Lipoproteins; urea; creatinine; estimated glomerular filtration rate and electrolytes were determined using standard procedures in both patients and controls.Results:
The mean total cholesterol; low density lipoproten cholesterol and high density lipoproten cholesterol in stable HbSS subjects were significantly lower (p
