The global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be 8-16%. Studies have shown that the increased mortality in patients with CKD is due to anemia that leads to cardiovascular disease (CVD), also known as "Cardio renal anemia syndrome". The present study was undertaken to look into the laboratory profiles of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
