Estimation of glomerular filtration rate: does haemoglobin discriminate between ageing and true CKD?

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/ 1.73 m(2) and anaemia in older people.

Background: Guidelines focus on early identification and management of CKD to prevent CKD progression and cardiovascular disease.
