Six hematological factors were measured and statistically analyzed to detect the significant correlation
between them within two pediatrics sick groups with the most occurred chronic kidney diseases (CKD).
They were 36 pa ents with nephro c syndrome (NS) and 26 pa ent with chronic renal failure (CRF) at the
age range 1-12 years of both genders from three pediatrics hospitals in Baghdad. The control group
consisted of 26 healthy children at the same age range of sick groups and of both genders. The measured
factors were: urea, creatinine, Interleukin-6, Erythropoie n, packed cell volume and hemoglobin. The
results showed that there was a significant correlation between urea and creatinine in the control group
only, referred to intact renal function. Also, there was a significant correlation between erythropoietin
and each of interleukin-6, packed cell volume, and hemoglobin in the nephro c syndrome group. Finally,
there was a high significant correlation between packed cell volume and hemoglobin in both sick groups
as well as controls.
