HEMATOLOGICAL CHANGES IN CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE AMONG A SAMPLE IN BAQUBA TEACHING HOSPITAL IN IRAQ

Back Ground: Kidney disease is ranked_3rd amongst life threatening disease in the world ,after cancer and heart disease, about 200000 persons goes to end stage renal failure yearly in the world while the million people are affected annually with non fatal kidney disease, kidney is the main source of many important functions one.

Results: In this study show there is normal hemoglobin in normal people with no renal impairment", and mild anemia in patients with CRF without dialysis, "Patients chronic renal failure with dialysis show severe anemia.

The WBC count slightly more in uremia patients with renal dialysis than in CRF without dialysis and then in normal people, while platelet count decrease inpatient with CRF with dialysis comparing with CRF without dialysis and normal people.

Conclusions: Anemia is common in chronic renal failure with dialysis more than chronic renal failure without dialysis and anemia in chronic renal failure more than in normal people.
