description Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common feature of sickle cell disease (SCD). The awareness of the clinical presentation and renal involvement in patients affected by hemoglobinopathies is greatly needed. Patient management is particularly complex, especially with kidney transplantation. We, therefore, report the case of a 56-year-old patient affected by sickle cell trait who underwent kidney transplantation. This case will underline all the various challenges the nephrologist must face in this clinical setting and their management.
