Abstract: Sickle cell disease is a hereditary disorder of hemoglobin affecting several abdominal organs and still remaining a health problem. The objective of this study is to assess the renal echogenicity and volume and ascertain the correlation with the duration of disease. Materials and methods: in a cross sectional study, 77 patients with sickle cell disease in West of Sudan were studied by ultrasound from the period of February to November 2016. The patients were scanned with 3.5 MHz probe; renal length, volume and echogenicity were assessed.
