The Impact of Anaemia on Outcomes, Admissions, and Costs in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Two Public Nephrology Practices in Queensland: A CKD.QLD Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Anaemia among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to poor overall outcomes. This study explores anaemia and its impact on nondialysis CKD (NDD-CKD) patients.

Methods

2,303 adults with CKD from two CKD.QLD Registry sites were characterised at consent and followed until start of kidney replacement therapy (KRT), death, or censor date. Mean follow-up was 3.9 (SD 2.1) years. Analysis explored the impact of anaemia on death, KRT start, cardiovascular events (CVE), admissions, and costs in these NDD-CKD patients.

Results

At consent, 45.6% patients were anaemic. Males were more often anaemic (53.6%) than females, and anaemia was significantly more common over the age of 65 years. The prevalence of anaemia was highest among CKD patients with diabetic nephropa
