Abstract
Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a pathophysiological process with various etiology that causes a progressive decline in kidney function and ends in kidney failure. [1] CKD is a health problem that occurs in the community and has covered globally. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease stated that CKD was the 27th leading cause of death in the world in 1990. This has increased to 18th in 2010. Parathyroid hormone is a potential factor in the incidence of anemia in CKD patients. In CKD patients, there is an increase in levels of parathyroid hormone which is a uremic toxin that inhibits erythropoietin by increasing fibrosis in the bone marrow (myelofibrosis). The role of PTH in cases of renal anemia has been extensively investigated by various clinical observational studies. This study aimed to determine the association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with regular hemodialysis in Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital. Methods: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 45 study subjects met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, underwent history taking, physical examination, anthropometry, and laboratory examination to measure parathyroid hormone, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and albumin levels. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: The measured PTH level had a minimum value of 113 pg/ml and a maximum of 595 pg/ml with an average of 431.4. The minimum hemoglobin value is 6.3 g/dl and a maximum of 11.5 g/dl with an average of 7.9, while for the hematocrit the minimum value is 19% and the maximum is 35% and the average is 24.7. The Mann-Whitney U test showed that there is a significant relationship between PTH levels and hemoglobin, indicated by a significant p value of 0.001 (p value < 0.05). A significant relationship was also found between PTH levels and hematocrit (p value = 0.039). Conclusion: Parathyroid hormone has a statistically significant relationship with haemoglobin and haematocrit levels in CKD patients with regular hemodialysis. Keywords: Chronic kidney disease; haemoglobin; haematocrit; parathyroid hormone; anemia; hemodialysis.
