Sickle cell nephropathy, a complication not to be ignored, through a Moroccan case by Asmaa Biaz in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY
Nephropathy is a major complication of sickle cell disease. Indeed, the kidneys are particularly sensitive organs to this disease.
We report a case of a patient with a major sickle cell syndrome; she was hospitalized in the nephrology department of Mohammed V Military Training Hospital, forend-stage renal failure. The family investigation revealed a composite S/O-Arab heterozygosity responsible for the severity of the clinical disorder.
Key words: Sickle cell nephropathy - End stage renal failure - Sickle cell major syndrome S/O-Arab.
INTRODUCTION
Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a major complication of sickle cell disease. It manifest’s in various forms, including glomerulopathy, proteinuria, hematuria, and Renal tubular disorders, and frequently results in end-stage renal disease(ESRD). Hemolysis and vascular occlusion are the main factors promoting the manifestations of this disease. Dialysis and renal transplantation are the last resort for patient with SCN [1].
Through the case of a patient with a major sickle cell syndrome S/O-Arab complicated by end-stage renal failure, we will explain the pathophysiological mechanisms of this complication and emphasize the importance of biological monitoring.
CASE REPORT
The patient was 24 years old and was admitted to the nephrology department of the Mohammed V Military Training Hospital for incidental renal failure in the context of an impure nephrotic syndrome revealing sickle cell nephropathy. In his history, we retained a
follow-up since the age of 5 years in another hospital structure for a hemoglobinosis S treated by iterative transfusions with notion of acute renal failure during sickle cell crises.
The biological result showed an anemia at 7.7 g/dL, corrected serum calcium at 82 mg/L, serum phosphorus at 64 mg/L, intact parathyroid hormone 1-84 at 543 pg/L, Alkaline Phosphatase at 201 U/L.
Hemoglobin electrophoresis was ordered to this patient, but due to repeated transfusions, her electrophoretic profile remains uninterpretable (Figure 1). Therefore, hemoglobin electrophoresis (HBE) was performed in the parents as part of the hemoglobin phenotypic study. The HBE of both parents is performed on Capillarys (Sebia®) at alkaline pH followed by electrophoresis at acidic pH on Hydrasys (Sebia®) which showed a heterozygous Hb O-Arab variant in the mother (Figure 2) and a heterozygous hemoglobinosis S (A/S) in the father (Figure 3).
Figure 1: Electrophoretic profile of the patient uninterpretable due to recent transfusion
Figure 2: Electrophoretic profile of the mother showing hemoglobinosis O-Arab in the heterozygous state
Figure 3: Electrophoretic profile of the father showing hemoglobinosis S in the heterozygous state
Referring to the phenotypic study of Hb performed in the parents, it is concluded that the patient has a composite heterozygosity S/O-Arab explaining the severity of the renal manifestations.
The evolution was marked by the absence of improvement of her renal function and the aggravation of the uremic syndrome motivating her setting in peritoneal dialysis. The patient was treated with erythropoietin ARANESP 30µg/ per 2 weeks with a blood transfusion of 2 packed red blood cells on average every two months.
The patient died at the age of 26 years before benefiting from either a hemoglobin genotyping study or a renal transplant.
DISCUSSION
Sickle cell disease is the most common hereditary hemoglobinopathy in the world. An estimated 300,000 children are born with this disease each year, three quarters of whom are born in sub-Saharan Africa [2]. It is characterized by extreme variability in terms of clinical manifestations, the most serious of which are renal manifestations.
The association S/O Arab is responsible for a major sickle cell syndrome, as in the case of our patient. Indeed, Hb O Arab stabilizes the intracellular polymerization of Hb S and leads to an irreversible sickle cell disease of red blood cells, thus expressing by a more severe clinical disorder. The clinical and biological manifestation of this association is similar to homozygous sickle cell disease and the association Hb S / Hb D Punjab. The onset is usually early, in infancy, and is marked by the classic triad of chronic hemolysis: anemia, jaundice and splenomegaly. Anemia is usually moderate outside of hemolytic attacks (Hb = 7 - 10 g/dL). The evolution is often marked by sickle cell complications. Osteoarticular complications are the most frequent, such as vaso-occlusive crises, septic arthritis and osteoporosis. Pneumonia, leg ulcers and vesicular lithiasis are also reported [3].
Sickle cell nephropathy is a major complication of sickle cell disease. The kidneys are particularly sensitive organs to the disease. Sickle cell disease substantially alters the structure and function of the kidneys and is the cause of several renal diseases and syndromes. Renal damage is more severe in SS homozygous patients than in other major sickle cell syndromes [4]. Approximately 5-18% of patients have SCN, thus increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality of the disease [5].
A number of studies have focused on this pathology, its evolution includes several stages; it starts with hyperfiltration, then the occurrence of microalbuminuria, then macroalbuminuria and finally the progression to renal failure. The prevalence of these complications increases with the age of the patients but can also be seen from a young age.
Two models have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of SCN. Becker et al. showed that prostaglandin release following ischemic injury causes an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This increase leads to glomerular injury and eventually manifests as proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis [6]. Alternatively, Nath and Katusic [7] classified the manifestations of SCN into two different phenotypes: the hemolysis-endothelial dysfunction phenotype and the viscosity-vaso-occlusive phenotype. The hemolysis-endothelial dysfunction phenotype affects the renal cortex and leads to hyperfiltration and glomerulopathy; heme released due to intravascular hemolysis predisposes to proteinuria through its accumulation on the glomerular filtration barrier, which disrupts membrane selectivity by exerting cytotoxic effects on podocytes and endothelial cells [8]. On the other hand, the viscosity-vaso-occlusive phenotype is responsible for hematuria, papillary necrosis, and tubular acidosis [9].
Microalbuminuria, reflecting the early stages of renal damage, should be routinely sought in the follow-up assessment in this category of patients.
Decreased GFR, which suggests loss of kidney function, occurs with the progression of sickle cell disease and may be a sign of uncontrolled disease. Sickle cell patients have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease compared to the general population.
Specific treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin II
receptor antagonist should be considered in these patients in order to slow the progression of the renal disease. The prevention of microthrombosis and thus of renal damage requires the maintenance of a hemoglobin A level of more than 50% by regular blood transfusion as soon as sickle cell disease is diagnosed. The role of hydroxyurea in the prevention and/or treatment of renal function abnormalities in sickle cell disease remains to be studied [10].
CONCLUSION
Sickle cell nephropathy is a major complication of sickle cell disease. It must be systematically and early sought in all sickle cell patients to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality of this disease.
The development of new biomarkers has become increasingly essential for the early detection of sickle cell disease in order to improve the survival of patients with sickle cell disease.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
Contraindications
"Vitamin C supplementation is contraindicated in blood disorders like thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, sickle cell disease, and hemochromatosis. Avoid taking supplements immediately before or following angioplasty. Diabetic patients should take vitamin C supplements with care as it raises blood sugar levels.
Vitamin C should be used cautiously in oxalate nephropathy or nephrolithiasis as acidification by ascorbic acid increases the chances of precipitation of cysteine, urate, and oxalate stones."

The Global Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market: Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast, 2022-2028
Tumblr media
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare kidney disease that impairs the filtration mechanism of the kidneys, resulting in severe scarring and end-stage renal failure. Proteinuria is a symptom of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market, which is characterised by progressive scarring of the kidney. It's an uncommon condition that damages and attacks the glomeruli, impairing kidney function. Obesity, birth, sickle cell anaemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and viruses such as HIV are all factors that contribute to kidney failure.
Increased Incidences of Rare Disease Increase Market Demand
Proteinuria and severe scarring are symptoms of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market, a rare kidney disease that damages the kidney's filtration mechanism (glomeruli). Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is usually fatal since it leads to renal failure, dialysis, and death within four to nine years. FSGS progresses more faster than diabetic nephropathy. Proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome, edoema, hyperlipidemia, and hypoalbuminemia are only a few of the disease's symptoms. Obesity, infection, sickle cell disease, and reflux nephropathy are all risk factors.

Pulmonary hypertension PH in sickle cell disease SCD is an emerging and important clinical problem. In a single institution adult cohort of 75 patients, we investigated lipid and lipoprotein levels and their relationship to markers of intravascular hemolysis, vascular dysfunction and PH. In agreement with prior studies, we confirm significantly decreased plasma levels of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL C , and low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL C in SCD vs. ethnically matched healthy controls. Several cholesterol parameters correlate significantly with markers of anemia, but not endothelial activation or PH. More importantly, serum triglyceride levels are significantly elevated in SCD compared to controls. Elevated triglyceride levels correlate significantly with markers of hemolysis lactate dehydrogenase and arginase both p 0.0005 , endothelial activation soluble E selectin, p 0.0001 soluble P selectin, p=0.02 soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, p=0.01 , inflammation leukocyte count, p=0.0004 erythrocyte sedimentation rate, p=0.02 and PH amino terminal brain natriuretic peptide, p=0.002 prevalence of elevated tricuspid regurgitant velocity TRV , p 0.001 . In a multivariate analysis, triglyceride levels correlate independently with elevated TRV p=0.002 . Finally, forearm blood flow studies in adult patients with SCD demonstrate a significant association between increased triglyceride HDL C ratio and endothelial dysfunction p 0.05 . These results characterize elevated plasma triglyceride levels as a potential risk factor for PH in SCD.

Positive impact of covid-19 on Rare hematology disorders market
Rare hematology disorders market Outlook - 2027
Rare blood diseases include sickle cell disease, beta thalassemia, follicular lymphoma, multiple myeloma, antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and others. Blood develops from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and formation takes place in the bone marrow through a sequence of the regulated process known as hematopoiesis. Blood contains component such as plasma, RBS, WBC, and platelets. Blood disorders include bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, blood clots; blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma). When the normal process of the blood development fails, abnormal blood cell type is produced, which causes blood cancer and other blood disorders. The rare hematological disease includes anemia-type red blood cell conditions, white blood cell dysfunctions, immuno-disorders and other platelet-based abnormalities. The other hemoglobinopathies are also on the rise due to increasing immigration of carriers from underdeveloped nations to developed regions of the world. The rare blood disorders are difficult to diagnose and treat.
The coronavirus COVID-19 has affected 213 countries and territories around the world. COVID-19 has created new challenges that are requiring manufacturers to innovate at speeds they never have before. Supply chain disruptions, social distancing on high-touch assembly lines, limited ability to travel, and the need for oversight add significant complexity to today’s processes. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created a global health crisis that has had a deep impact on the manufacturing market there is a shortage in supply of raw materials from Chinese manufacturers which has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. The manufacturers are further expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics industry being significantly impacted due to lockdown amid COVID-19. This has all affected the market adversely causing a slowdown in the rare hematology disorders market due to shortage of supply and manufacturing drugs.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact analysis:
Drivers:
Increased prevalence:
Rare diseases comprise a growing public health priority, as they affect above 300 million people globally and they are difficult to diagnose and treat. There is a pressing need for better ways to detect and diagnose rare diseases, as well as to provide companion diagnostics for therapy guidance, clinical trials enrollment and therapy monitoring applications. In the U.S., the condition is considered as rare when it affects less than 200,000 people in the United States or prevalence of 5 per 10,000. In Europe, 5 in 10,000 citizens are considered as rare diseases. According to Eurordis (European organization of rare diseases), there are approximately 6000 to 8000 rare diseases. Around 15 million people across the globe suffer from thalassemic disorders and nearly 1.5% of the world population is estimated to be a carrier of β-thalassemia. Rare hematology disorder treatment among the geriatric population base will show boast in future. An overall occurrence of anemia ranges from 10% to 24% among the senior adults. As the age of patient increases, the need for hematology disorder care also increases. Thus, the growing population of geriatric age group will increase the chances of developing rare blood disorders among adults, thereby boosting the demand for hematology disorder treatment in the forecast period.
Development of new therapies:
Global Blood Therapeutics (GBT) is developing biologics for the treatment of sickle cell disease. The company lead candidate, voxelotor (GBT440) is in Phase 3 trials and being investigated for the treatment of sickle cell disease. The candidate is a hemoglobin S polymerization inhibitor and its mechanism of action is modulation hemoglobin affinity for oxygen. FDA has granted has breakthrough therapy, fast track, orphan drug and rare pediatric disease designations to Vozelotor. Imara is developing novel therapeutics for patients suffering from sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease is a rare, genetic blood disease that causes red blood cells to sickle and become damaged, activating immune cells and blocking blood flow in capillaries, injuring many organs and causing daily pain. Its lead candidate is IMR-687, a small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9i) for the treatment of sickle cell disease. Launched in April 2016 by orphan drug accelerator Cydan Development. Cyclerion is involved in developing therapies for treating sickle cell disease (SCD) and diabetic nephropathy. They are focused on the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway. Their lead candidate, Olinciguat, which is a vascular guanylate cyclase agonist. The candidate is in phase II clinical trial. They have granted Orphan Drug Designation for SCD by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The development of such therapies and treatment for the diseases will drive the Rare hematology disorders market growth.

#RNA sequencing of isolated cell populations expressing human APOL1 G2 risk variant reveals molecular correlates of sickle cell nephropathy in zebrafish podocytes
by Joseph L. Bundy, Blair R. Anderson, Ludmila Francescatto, Melanie E. Garrett, Karen L. Soldano, Marilyn J. Telen, Erica E. Davis, Allison E. Ashley-Koch Kidney failure occurs in 5–13% of individuals with sickle cell disease and is associated with early mortality. Two APOL1 alleles (G1 and G2) have been identified as risk factors for sickle cell disease nephropathy. Both risk alleles are prevalent in individuals with recent African ancestry and have been associated with nephropathic complications in other diseases. Despite the association of G1 and G2 with kidney dysfunction, the mechanisms by which these variants contribute to increased risk remain poorly understood. Previous work in zebrafish models suggest that the G2 risk allele functions as a dominant negative, whereas the G1 allele is a functional null. To understand better the cellular pathology attributed to APOL1 G2, we investigated the in vivo effects of the G2 risk variant on distinct cell types using #RNA sequencing. We surveyed APOL1 G2 associated transcriptomic alterations in podocytes and vascular endothelial cells isolated from zebrafish larvae expressing cell-type specific reporters. Our analysis identified many transcripts (n = 7,523) showing differential expression between APOL1 G0 (human wild-type) and APOL1 G2 exposed podocytes. Conversely, relatively few transcripts (n = 107) were differentially expressed when comparing APOL1 G0 and APOL1 G2 exposed endothelial cells. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed transcripts in podocytes showed enrichment for autophagy associated terms such as “Lysosome” and “Phagosome”, implicating these pathways in APOL1 G2 associated kidney dysfunction. This work provides insight into the molecular pathology of APOL1 G2 nephropathy which may offer new therapeutic strategies for multiple disease contexts such as sickle cell nephropathy. http://bit.ly/2WsbWko

Nephrin as a biomarker of sickle cell glomerulopathy in Malawi
Abstract
Background
Glomerulopathy is an increasingly identified complication in young patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Hyperfiltration and albuminuria followed by declining glomerular filtration rates and eventual end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is assumed to be the typical progression of glomerular disease. There are only a few reported biomarkers to identify early-stage renal disease in SCD.
Procedures
We detail the renal profile of 101 children with SCD in Malawi and propose a novel urinary biomarker for the identification of early renal disease.
Results
Among children with sickle cell anemia, 24.8% had a urine albumin–creatinine ratio of 30 mg/g or above. In univariate analysis, only patients with higher urinary nephrin, a urinary marker of glomerular injury, had significantly greater odds of having albuminuria. In multivariable analysis, nephrin remained significantly associated with albuminuria. A nephrin–creatinine ratio (NCR) cut-point of 622 ng/mg, the 50th percentile, was associated with a 45.8 times greater odds of having albuminuria in children with nephrinuria above this value. Further analysis revealed this urinary NCR cut-point to have 96% sensitivity, 64% specificity, 47% positive predictive value, and 98% negative predictive value for the presence of albuminuria.
Conclusions
These data suggest that a substantial number of children with SCD in Malawi have renal disease and could be at risk for worsening nephropathy and ESRD as they age. Our data suggest that urinary nephrin could be utilized as an early marker of glomerular disease in SCD.
