Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of anemia among patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Saudi Arabia, using data from 11 different medical centers.
- The cohort included 250 patients, with anemia prevalence rates escalating from 42% in stage 1 to 82% in stage 5 for hemoglobin levels below 12 g/dL, indicating a significant issue across all stages.
- The findings suggest a high demand for erythropoietin treatment among these patients, but the anticipated dosage may be manageable due to the availability of effective long-acting treatments, making it less costly and more effective for patient care.
