Nocturnal enuresis and K+ transport in red blood cells from patients with sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is one of the commonest severe inherited disorders affecting millions worldwide. Complications are extensive although severity varies markedly. Renal damage [or sickle cell nephropathy (SCN)] occurs in approximately one-third of SCA children1,2 and a significant number develop renal failure as adults.3 It is not yet possible to predict which children will develop SCN and would, therefore, benefit from earlier, more aggressive management
