  • Title: Urographic changes in homozygous sickle cell disease.
    Author: Odita JC, Ugbodaga CI, Okafor LA, Ojogwu LI, Ogisi OA.
    Journal: Diagn Imaging; 1983; 52(5):259-63. PubMed ID: 6617427.
    Abstract:
    A prospective urographic study of 40 Nigerian homozygous sickle cell patients is presented. The age range was 13-51 years with a mean of 20. The excretory urogram was normal in 30% of the patients. There is a very high incidence of renal papillary necrosis (40%). The other abnormalities observed are non-obstructive caliectasis (47.5%), poor excretion of contrast medium (40%) and renal enlargement. The incidence of urographic abnormality was neither age- or sex-related. There is also no relationship between abnormality and urinary symptoms.
