Abstract
The aim to demonstrate development of left ventricular hypertrophy early in chronic kidney disease patients with mild to moderate anemia. This research examined 100 CKD patients (stage III to V) aged 15‐80 with high serum creatinine, decreased glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin <11gm/dl and renal parenchymal disease grade >2 over a year. Patients were evaluated based on clinical history and laboratory markers such blood urea, serum creatinine, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, serum electrolytes, iPTH, Hb, Hct, glomerular filtration rate and left ventricular mass index. The study population was 68% male and 32% female. Most male patients (75% of the study sample) had abnormal left ventricular mass index (135g/m2 is normal). Most women (87.5%) have abnormal left ventricular mass index. Association of anaemia (8g/dl reference value for this study group) with left ventricular mass index in male and female patients, p value is significant. Anaemia was strongly correlated with left ventricular mass index in both men and women. No relationship existed between DM and LVMI. In our CKD patients, anaemia was common. These individuals' left ventricular hypertrophy correlates with anaemia severity. In these individuals, early anaemia correction may avoid cardiovascular morbidity and death.
