Study of Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Among High-Risk Hypertensive and Diabetic Patients in Pakistan

March 19, 2018 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

Prevalence of Anaemia Secondary to Early Stage Chronic Kidney Disease in High Risk Diabetic and/or Hypertensive Population

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of CKD-related anemia at an early stage through screening of high-risk patients in Pakistan at the level of physicians, cardiologists, and diabetologists. The information gathered may serve as a foundation in formulating national guidelines for better early diagnosis and management of patients with CKD.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Study Population
Hypertensive and diabetic patients who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and evaluated for the presence of anemia secondary to CKD. The first visit will capture medical history including risk factors for CKD; laboratory assessments will be performed at the second and third visits to evaluate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and anemia profile, respectively. Participants who are not diagnosted with CKD based upon the second visit will not return for the third visit.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of patients with anemia secondary to CKD
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Use of treatment modalities for the management of anemia secondary to CKD
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months
