[Prevalence and structure of anemia in patients with chronic heart failure in a therapeutic hospital].
We carried out retrospective analysis of 219 case histories of patients with chronic heart failure admitted to a general medical hospital. Anemia (hemoglobin level below 130 g/l in men and below 120g/l in women) was found in 23.3% of cases. Anemia was classified as iron deficiency in 23.5% and as B12 deficiency in 3.9% of patients. In 3.9% of patients other definite causes of anemia were found and in 68.6% origin of anemia was not determined. However at least in some of the latter patients disturbed kidney function could play some role in anemia genesis.
