The Relationship Between Anemia and Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Patients With Kidney Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment in Georgia.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its associated complications, such as anemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), pose significant challenges to global healthcare systems. This study explores the demographic and clinical characteristics of 284 kidney failure (KF) patients undergoing hemodialysis, in an effort to shed light on the possible association between anemia and SHPT. A proven connection between the two could theoretically influence the management plans for CKD patients, with the hopes of achieving lower morbidity and/or mortality in this patient group.
