Alloimmunisation and nephropathy in sickle cell disease patients in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

ConclusionDespite the ethnic diversity of our donor population, the prevalence of alloimmunisation is comparable to previous reports. Alloimmunisation was associated with severe proteinuria, a marker of SCD nephropathy. Prospective research is needed to further characterise factors associated with risk of alloimmunisation in SCD in Saudi Arabia.
