In these disorders, polymerization of mutated hemoglobin S results in deformation of red blood cells, which can cause endothelial cell injury in the kidney that may lead to thrombus formation when severe or manifest by multilayering of the basement membranes (glomerular and\/or peritubular capillaries) in milder forms of injury. As the injury progresses, the subsequent ischemia, tubular dysfunction, and glomerular scarring can result in CKD or ESRD. Sickle cell nephropathy can occur in patients with homozygous hemoglobin SS or heterozygous hemoglobin S (hemoglobin SC, hemoglobin S\/\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup>\n                    -thalassemia, and hemoglobin S\/\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    -thalassemia). Clinical manifestations resulting from hemoglobin S polymerization are often milder in patients with heterozygous hemoglobin S. These patients may not present with clinically apparent acute sickle cell crises, but these milder forms can provide a unique view of the kidney injury in sickle cell disease. Here, we report a patient with hemoglobin SC disease who showed peritubular capillary and vasa recta thrombi and capillary basement membrane alterations primarily involving the renal medulla. This patient highlights the vascular occlusion and endothelial cell injury in the medulla that contribute to sickle cell nephropathy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1681\/asn.2015040399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]],"date-time":"2015-11-06T22:09:53Z","timestamp":1446847793000},"page":"1300-1304","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Medullary Microvascular Thrombosis and Injury in Sickle Hemoglobin C Disease"],"prefix":"10.1681","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Mei Lin Z.","family":"Bissonnette","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kammi J.","family":"Henriksen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristie","family":"Delaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Stankus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2015.8","article-title":"Sickle cell disease: Renal manifestations and mechanisms.","volume":"11","author":"Nath","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat Rev Nephrol"},{"key":"B2-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2018","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(10)61029-X","article-title":"Sickle-cell disease.","volume":"376","author":"Rees","year":"2010","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"B3-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7527","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.79.23.7527","article-title":"Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of hemoglobin SC disease.","volume":"79","author":"Bunn","year":"1982","journal-title":"Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A"},{"key":"B5-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-115-8-614","article-title":"Chronic renal failure in sickle cell disease: Risk factors, clinical course, and mortality.","volume":"115","author":"Powars","year":"1991","journal-title":"Ann Intern Med"},{"key":"B6-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1186\/s12882-015-0072-y","article-title":"Chronic kidney disease is common in sickle cell disease: A cross-sectional study in the Terna Metropolis, Ghana.","volume":"16","author":"Ephraim","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMC Nephrol"},{"key":"B7-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2628","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.01600211","article-title":"Chronic kidney disease and albuminuria in children with sickle cell disease.","volume":"6","author":"McPherson Yee","year":"2011","journal-title":"Clin J Am Soc Nephrol"},{"key":"B8-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1755.2000.00806.x","article-title":"Renal abnormalities in sickle cell disease.","volume":"57","author":"Pham","year":"2000","journal-title":"Kidney Int"},{"key":"B9-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-195112000-00003","article-title":"Sickle cell anemia; a composite study and survey.","volume":"30","author":"Margolies","year":"1951","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"key":"B10-20230819","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"450","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(70)90836-6","article-title":"Nature of concentrating defect in sickle-cell nephropathy.
