Aims. Anaemia is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD); the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) have defined renal anaemia as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) Methods. We used an observational prevalence study in primary care from one Staffordshire practice in 2005â2006. Egton Medical Information Systems Ltd computer database was searched for patients with two Modification of Diet in Renal Disease eGFRs separated by 3 months, HB levels and medications. Results. From a list size of 1830 patients, 362 had two eGFRs P P n = 81, 26%), 12.8 g/dl (95% Confidence Intervals (CI) 12.4â13.1) against non-diabetic group (n = 227, 74%), 13.4 g/dl (95% CI 13.2â13.6), P P Conclusions. Diabetic patients were more likely to have NICE defined renal anaemia in this primary care population with CKD stages 3â5. This is similar to observations in secondary care settings. We observed over-representation of diabetic patients above NICE definition at HB 11.0 to <12.5 g/dl. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
