Popis: AIM Anaemia is a well-known complication of chronic kidney disease but there are no published studies on the pattern of anaemia in chronic kidney disease of uncertain aetiology (CKDu). This study aims to find out the prevalence, causes and associations of anaemia in CKDu to identify any unique features which are different from already described anaemia in chronic kidney disease. METHOD All (119) biopsy-confirmed CKDu patients in two endemic clinics (Girandurukotte and Wilgamuwa) were selected as cases. Blood samples (10 mL) were collected from the peripheral veins into Potassium-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K-EDTA) tubes, plain tubes and Na-citrated tubes. Serum was separated immediately by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 min. Spot urine samples were collected into empty, sterile, polypropylene urine containers. All analyses were performed in IBM spss statistics version 23 (IBM Corp, Armonk, New York). RESULTS The overall prevalence of anaemia in 119 non-dialysis CKDu patients was 72.3% with the highest prevalence seen in females compared to males (P
