"ASsociation of Proteinuria and Progression of KidneY DysfunctioN in Sickle Cell Disease"

To describe change in ACR and eGFR during study follow-up, and assesss the association of baseline and change in ACR and eGFR, with progression of kidney failure and/or all-cause mortality.

This is a retrospective, non-interventional, secondary use of the data coming from the single-center secondary GEN-MOD study cohort at the Henri Mondor Hospital (Creteil, France). The GEN-MOD cohort includes 355 SCD patients.

The GEN-MOD data are accessible through the center's clinical and laboratory database and will be extracted and analyzed for the purpose of this study.

The enrolment in the GEN-MOD cohort lasted from 01 December 2002 until 01 March 2014. Follow-up occurred every six months and ranged from five to seventeen years and ended on 31 December 2019. The index date (baseline) for this study is the time of inclusion of patients in GEN-MOD cohort study

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults aged ≥ 18 years old.
• Confirmed diagnosis of SCD by Hb electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography. SCD genotypes HbSS, HbSβ0-thal.
• Availability of ACR and eGFR baseline records.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients enrolled in a chronic transfusion program.
• Patients receiving hydroxyurea treatment at the time of study enrollment.
