Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia. But the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been well established in Kaveri Delta Region, Tamilnadu, India. Hence, the present study has been undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease patients of Kaveri Delta Region, Tamilnadu, India. Materials and Methods: The present study enrolled 221 chronic kidney disease patients from a private nephrology outpatient clinic, Tiruchirappalli. All biochemical tests were done including serum ferritin. Patients were categorized into two groups based on ferritin levels. Group 1 (N: 87) considered as case and the group 2 (N: 134) patients considered as control. These two groups were compared each other respective with gender and age groups with all parameters. Results: Out of these patients, 87 belonged to iron deficiency anemia patients. Group 1 patients (Total Number of Patients: 87 Male: 29 Female: 58) showing significantly lower serum ferritin levels (15.04±12.48) than group 2 patients (88.98±47.39) (P<0.0001). Within group 1, females had lower ferritin levels (12.98±8.84) than males (17.11±10.78) in the age group of 31-40 years (P <0.0001). Conclusion: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among chronic kidney disease in Kaveri Delta Region was found to be 39%.
