Analysis of the Quantitative Relationship Between Anemia and Chronic Renal Failure

Analysis of the Quantitative Relationship Between Anemia and Chronic Renal Failure

The authors analyzed data from 106 adults with chronic renal failure [(CRF), serum creatinine (Scr) > 132.6 μmol/1 (1.5 mg/ dl)], to define the precision of, and effects of covariables on, the relationship between anemia and CRF. We excluded dialyzed or patients who had received transplants and t...

Zusammenfassung:The authors analyzed data from 106 adults with chronic renal failure [(CRF), serum creatinine (Scr) > 132.6 μmol/1 (1.5 mg/ dl)], to define the precision of, and effects of covariables on, the relationship between anemia and CRF. We excluded dialyzed or patients who had received transplants and those with obvious potential nonrenal causes of anemia. Hct was a linear function of BUN and Scr (r = –0.48, and r = –0.67, respectively), and a curvilinear function of creatinine clearance (r = 0.68), all p
