CHARACTERISTICS OF ANEMIA AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENTS RECEIVING BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS AT NGUYEN TRI PHUONG HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of anemia and some factors related to the severity of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who received blood transfusions at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 86 patients with chronic kidney disease who had received blood transfusions at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital from January 2025 to April 2025. Results: The prevalence of anemia was 98.8%, in which moderate and severe anemia accounted 76.5%. The anemia was mostly normocytic and normochromic. The severity of anemia is negatively correlated with the number of blood transfusions (r=-0.385), but no statistically significant association with age, gender, ethnicity, or stage of CKD (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Anemia is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, especial in late stages. Evaluating its characteristics and further researches to find the immune responses after blood transfusions, that help monitor and treat the disease more effectively.
