Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Anaemia is one of the most significant complications of CKD. A total of 170 participants-enrolled in Shri Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Anand-Gujarat, were selected. The association between hemoglobin and diabetes was studied with and without nephropathy. Creatinine estimation was done by using (Siemens-Dimension-RXL-and X pand) and Hb by Automatic cell counter. Data were computer-analyzed using (SPSS 20.USA) program. Reference management was done by Endnote X7 program. Results: In our study of 170 type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus (DM) participants, irrespective of having nephropathy or not, 66% was anemic and 34% seemed to have normal hemoglobin. In DM patients with nephropathy, 78.1% was anemic and only12.9% had normal hemoglobin. In DM patients without nephropathy, 44.7% was anemic and 53.3% had normal hemoglobin. The mean level Hb decreased in diabetics with nephropathy (10.4?2.17) compared to those without nephropathy (12.7?1.84). The negative correlation [r]between Hb and creatinine was -0.24 and p-value = 0.002. Conclusion: Hemoglobin is an independent risk factor for the progression of nephropathy to the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in type 2 diabetes. This is explained by the effect of Erythropoietin (EPO) production from the kidney.
