Introduction: Anemia is a frequently observed manifestation during the clinical course of chronic liver disease and occurs in up to 75% of patients. This study was conducted to describe type of anemia in patients with CLD from RBC indices, peripheral smear, iron profile, Vitamin Assay. Objectives

Materials & methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 50 CLD patients admitted at KVGMCH, sullia between December 2021 to april 2022. Data was collected in terms of history, clinical findings & laboratory parameters. Data was analysed using standard statistical tests. Result: The mean age of males and females were 56.51 and 66 years respectively. Mean Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC were 8.96, 78.8, 26.1, 32.9 respectively. S. Iron & ferritin were 36.8 µg/dl, 66.5 ng/ml respectively. Peripheral smear showed Microcytic hypochromic anemia in 84% of the patients.
