The influence of inflammatory markers and CRP predictive value in relation to the target hemoglobin level in patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of inflammatory markers, predictive values of CRP and target hemoglobin (Hb) in patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Material And Methods: Made is a cross-sectional study of inflammatory agents serum levels-CRP, fibrinogen and ferritin before hemodialysis in 114 patients divided into two groups according to the achieved or unachieved target hemoglobin level in the Cantonal Hospital in Zenica.

Results: The 57 patients (test group) did not reached the target hemoglobin in the range from 10-12 g/dl and CRP values were significantly higher compared to the control group (57 patients) who had reached targeted hemoglobin values.
