Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) will cause anemia which can lead to death. CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy can also experience anemia. Therefore, it is necessary to check the erythrocyte index consisting of Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) to determine the type of anemia so that appropriate therapy can be given. Objectives: To determined the description of the erythrocyte index in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan.
