Prevalence and Correlates of Metabolic Acidosis among Patients with Homozygous Sickle Cell Disease

[摘要] Background and objectives Very few studies report acid base disorders in homozygous patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and describe incomplete renal acidosis rather than true metabolic acidosis, the prevalence of which is unknown and presumably low. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic acidosis and to identify its risk factors and mechanisms.
