Greeshma Gopalan, Dr Namrata Kar

Abstract :

 To find the prevalence of anemia in patients with heart failure (HF) and to correlate it with kidney dysfunction 417 patients were observed within 20 weeks. Out of which 265 patients were diagnosed for heart failure. Their blood test report analysis was used for the assessment of anemia and creatinine level among them. On analyzing, 32.08% patients diagnosed with HF were anemic, out of which severe anemia is responsible for 1.89%, moderate and mild anemia contributes 3.40% and 26.79% respectively. Pearson’s correlation test was used to see the relation between the anemia and kidney dysfunction which gave a non–significant result at N=85, p<0.05.
