Diagnosis of anemia
• Diagnose anemia in adults and children >15 years with CKD when the
Hb concentration is <13.0 g/dl (<130 g/l) in males and <12.0 g/dl
(<120 g/l) in females.
Kidney International Supplements (2012) 2, 283–287
Iron 16 (37-145)
TIBC 117 (228-428)
Saturasi 14 % (20-55)
UIBC 101 (112-346) Defisiensi besi
Systemic approach to anemia
• History : nutritional intake, review GI symptoms (abdominal
discomfort, hematochezia and bright red rectal bleeding), menstrual
history, systemic symptoms of an underlying chronic infectious or
inflammatory process, occupational or residential exposure to toxins,
such as lead, varying levels of fatigue or dyspnea.
• As the severity of anemia increases, physical findings may include a
systolic murmur and pallor of the mucous membranes, nail beds, and
palmar creases
(AAFP, 2010)
Investigation of anemia
• In patients with CKD and anemia (regardless of age and CKD stage), include
the following tests in initial evaluation of the anemia (Not Graded):
• Complete blood count (CBC), which should include Hb concentration, red
cell indices, white blood cell count and differential, and platelet count
• Absolute reticulocyte count
• Serum ferritin level
• Serum transferrin saturation (TSAT)
• Serum vitamin B12 and folate levels

• Testing for occult blood in stool if iron deficiency is documented.

Use of ESAs and other agents to treat anemia
in CKD
• Address all correctable causes of anemia (including iron deficiency
and inflammatory states) prior to initiation of ESA therapy.
• For adult CKD 5D patients, we suggest that ESA therapy be used to
avoid having the Hb concentration fall below 9.0 g/dl (90 g/l) by
starting ESA therapy when the hemoglobin is between 9.0–10.0 g/dl
(90–100 g/l). (2B)
