    Abstract:
    AIMS: To demonstrate the correlation of anemia and intact parathormone with left ventricular hypertrophy in a cohort of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients in a tertiary care centre. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done over 2 years on 230 renal failure patients (160 males, 70 females), aged 15-75 years, who had elevated serum creatinine and reduced GFR. The patients were assessed based on clinical history and a number of laboratory parameters including serum creatinine, calcium, iPTH level, Hb, Hct, GFR and LVMI. Settings : Patients were seen as inpatients and outpatients in a tertiary care centre. RESULTS: In CKD stages I, II and III, 51% of the patients had anemia Hb<11gm/dl), 16%of the patients had elevated iPTH, 79% of male patients and 71% of female patients had LVH. In Stage IV CKD, 55% of the patients had anemia, 25% of the patients had elevated iPTH, 74% of male patients and 100% of female patients had LVH. In stage V CKD, 76% of the patients had anemia, 31% of the patients had elevated iPTH, 77% of male patients and 96% of female patients had LVH. In all five stages, 78% of male patients and 71% of female patients with elevated iPTH had LVH, 81% of male patients and 90% of female patients with anemia had LVH. Systemic hypertension was present in 69% of the patients. CONCLUSION: Anemia is widely prevalent in our cohort of CKD patients. Severity of anemia is correlated to LVH and secondary hyperparathyroidism in these patients.
