From the author: Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Anemia, a well-defined risk factor for cardiovascular disease, has been shown to contribute to the development of angina pectoris, ischemic events, and left ventricular hypertrophy. Data indicate that these cardiovascular-related disorders are often ameliorated or reversed in patients who maintain hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the 11 to 12 g/dL range recommended by NKF-KDOQI. Conversely, Hb levels below 11 g/dL result in an increase in cardiovascular disorders and a 2.9-fold increased risk of death. Nephrology nurses should understand the interplay between Hb levels and cardiovascular disease, and how their efforts to maintain Hb levels [greater than or equal to] g/dL can positively affect patient outcomes.
