Introduction: The impact of the disease of the kidney is enormous in developing countries like Nigeria. With the increasing use of erythropoietin stimulating agents in anaemic patients with CKD, there is a need to evaluate the changes in haematological parameters in these patients. This study assessed the haematological changes in patients with known chronic kidney disease. Materials and methods: Our research was a cross-sectional study that assessed and compared the haematologic parameters of 113 patients who had established chronic kidney disease and 113 -healthy controls who were age–and sex-matched.
