Cholelithiasis in patients with paediatric sickle cell anaemia in a Saudi hospital
2019
Objective
Sickle cell disease is one of the most common inherited hemoglobinopathies in the world. Chronic haemolysis predisposes individuals to the development of bilirubinate cholelithiasis, which can be asymptomatic or can result in cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and gallstone pancreatitis. We aimed to determine the prevalence of cholelithiasis and associated gallstone disease among patients with paediatric sickle cell disease in a Saudi hospital.
