The association of iron deficiency anemia with 3-5 chronic kidney disease stages case-control study

Abstract

Anemia is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease patients; however, its identification and management have been reported to be suboptimal. Therefore, the goals of our study were to evaluate the changes in a few hematological parameters between chronic kidney disease patients and controls, as well as to investigate the prevalence, severity and correlation of iron deficiency anemia in the 3-5 stages of chronic kidney disease patient. This case-control study was conducted on 120 sample of serum as a control and chronic kidney disease Patients, (male and female) with age ranged between (20-79) years. The severe anemia mostly was present in stage 5 was76.3%. The mean hemoglobin and iron level for the patient was 8.49±1.48 g/d L and 39.73±10.17 respectively. The anemia severity was also significantly different among stages of renal failure. Moreover, Regression analyses revealed that the mean hemoglobin and ferritin level were independent determinants of kidney failure stages.
