Аннотация

This study focuses on reviewing the existence, probable risk factors, and consequences of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Anemia in CKD is mainly caused by decreased production of erythropoietin (EPO) due to renal failure and/or altered iron balance. Treatment with EPO or iron supplements may be necessary, but the potential benefits and risks of these therapies must be carefully considered. Aim: The aim of conducting this research was to determine the existence of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients who are admitted to the Center for Kidney Diseases and Transplantation in Basra. Patients and method: This cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2022 to January 2023, at Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital in Basra City. The study population included all patients with renal failure of both sexes and of all ages. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, patient interviews, and review of medical records. The sample size was determined to be 62 patients, to whom the procedure of measuring CBC and RFT. The study received official endorsement from the Basra Directorate of Health, the Hospital Administration, and the Director of Central Laboratories. Results: In this study, the average age of the study population was 50.5 years and about 53.3% were females. The median hemoglobin level of the study population was found 8.8gm/dL. Hypertension was found to be associated with 95% of the sample. It is also clear that about 96.7% of the patients were taking medications. Conclusion: There were similarities between Iraqi CKD patients and international patients with respect to the most common reasons for consultation when CKD was detected, the most common chronic diseases associated with CKD, associations of abnormal urine color, and hemoglobin level, RBC, WBC, PLT, MCH, and MCHC in CKD. There was some variation in the levels of blood urea and serum creatinine in CKD. Anemia appears to be associated with CKD. Chronic kidney disease has nothing to do with level of education and profession.
