Abstract
Deoxyhemoglobin levels in the medullary area are higher in patients with SCD, during vaso-occlusive crises and at steady state, than in controls. Alterations to the tissue perfusion and cellular integrity of renal parenchyma are a common finding during vaso-occlusive crises that provide additional evidence that a vaso-occlusive crisis may be associated with subclinical kidney injury detectable on MRI.
