chronic kidney disease. Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the Aga Khan …

Background: Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and this is
generally anemia of chronic disease, but iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is also common …

Anemia is an early complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The iron deficiency is an
important contributor, more so in the Indian population. As routine standalone iron tests do …

BACKGROUND: Monitoring of iron status in chronic kidney disease patients is important,
however inflammation may hinder its monitoring. Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is an …

Erythropoietin is advised in these patients; however, this therapy is not effective in patients …

Anemia in patients with chronic renal failure is multifactorial with an absolute or functional
iron deficiency present in 60–80% of patients. In this study, 102 patients of stage 5 chronic …

The magnitude of chronic renal disease is enormous, as the prevalence of kidney failure is
rising. Anaemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that develops …

Inflammation affects the reliability of ferritin. The serum level of transferrin receptor protein
