Evaluation of biochemical and hematological parameters in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considered to be one of the most common diseases in the world, resulting in anemia and mineral and bone disorders as two serious comorbid conditions. This study aimed to assess the biochemical, and hematological parameters in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study included 151 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Imam Ali Hospital in Zahedan. We extracted patients’ hemoglobin, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels from their files and analyzed the data using descriptive and chi-square statistical tests. The mean age was 49.33 ± 16.81 years; 50.3% were male. Anemia was present in 84.8% of patients. Hyperphosphatemia was observed in 63.6%, and PTH was elevated in 39.7%. Calcium and albumin were normal in 53.0% and 94.0% of patients, respectively. Calcium level was significantly associated with gender ( P = 0.005). The high prevalence of anemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated PTH highlights the need for regular biochemical monitoring. These findings can help nursing staff detect and manage complications early in hemodialysis patients. Not applicable.
