Chronic Kidney Disease, Anemia, and the Association Between Chronic Kidney Disease-Related Anemia and Activities of Daily Living in Older Nursing Home Residents

CKD and anemia associated with CKD are common in older NH residents. The data suggest that older NH residents with CKD and anemia require greater assistance in performing ADLs than residents with CKD alone. These data support the importance of evaluating the older NH population for CKD and anemia. As with all retrospective analyses, study limitations must be considered in the interpretation of these results.
