Association between hemoglobin and chronic kidney disease progression: a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study in Japanese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Anemia has been reported as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. However, there are still few studies examining the relationship between specific hemoglobin (Hb) levels and renal prognosis and renal function decline simultaneously. Meanwhile, the possible non-linear relationship between Hb and CKD progression also deserves further exploration. On that account, our primary goal is to explore the link of Hb on renal prognosis and renal function decline in patients with CKD.

Methods

This study was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study, which consecutively and non-selectively collected 962 participants from the research of CKD-ROUTE in Japan from November 2010 to December 2011. We used the Cox proportional-hazards and linear regressi
