Introduction: Anemia is commonly characterised as haemoglobin in men of less than 13.0 g/dL and
in premenopausal women of less than 12.0 g/dL. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) anaemia is a type of
normocytic normochromic hypo-proliferative anaemia. It is also associated with poor results in CKD and
raises mortality among other CKD complications. After a greater than 50 percent loss of kidney function,
the disease normally begins to progress, generally when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls to less
than 60 mL/min. When chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses, the seriousness of anaemia continues to
worsen. Erythropoietin deficiency in renal development and the incidence of anaemia do not always appear
to correlate with renal impairment severity.
Material and Methods: Total 60 patients of iron deficiency anemia were taken for the study which contains
55% (33) male patients and 45% (27) of female patients. This is a cross-sectional investigation wherein
cases were out-patients. Patients went to the Directly Observed Treatment Short-course focus in the Dept. of
General Medicine. The samples were used to analyze serum urea, Creatinine and Hematocrit value.
Result: The level of urea in male (260.69±38.25) is non-significantly high than in female (241.0±34.16)
patients.The hematocrit value was significantly low in both men and women (p=0.0006) indicating no
difference irrespective of gender. However, it was discovered that the mean value of females (20.14±2.63)
was higher than that of males (17.90 ±2.16).
Conclusion: Our study concluded that hematocrit value had a strong association with acute renal failure
irrespective of the gender and the severity of the anemia is independent of the maximum or minimum value
of the creatinine or urea.
