Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sickle cell diseases (SCD) on renal arteries blood flow indices by using of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) in addition to relationships with age and body mass index (BMI). The method adapted was an experimental study among a sample consists of 115 SCD patients and 100 as control group. CDU of the main renal and segmental arteries performed among all patients and controls. All the patients were scanned in stable state condition. The results analysis carried out by EXCELL software for the collected variables which revealed that: the patients showed higher resistivity index RI and pulsatility index PI than control subjects (for patients 0.8 & 1.5 and 0.7 & 1.4 for control group. The significant positive correlation between RI and age (r = 0.194, and r = 0.061) for patients and control group respectively in the right renal artery and as well the RI correlated proportionally with BMI (r=0.53) for patients and (r=0.05) for control group.
