Adequate knowledge about these conditions might help individuals to prevent and\/or manage them effectively. This study was aimed at assessing the knowledge of CKD and anemia regarding their causes, risk factors, and preventive practices among undergraduate students.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The study was a cross\u2010sectional design conducted from July 2023 to September 2023, involving 267 students pursuing either health\u2010related or nonhealth\u2010related programs. A structured questionnaire was administered to participants to assess their knowledge of CKD and anemia and was analyzed.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    An overwhelming majority, 208 (77.9%), demonstrated a good level of general knowledge of CKD, whereas an even higher proportion, 215 (80.5%), had a good level of general knowledge of anemia. Also, the bulk of the participants, 222 (83.1%), showed a good level of knowledge of the relationship between CKD and anemia. There was a significant relationship between a student\u2019s faculty and general CKD knowledge (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). Participants in health\u2010related faculties and in the third\/fourth year significantly had good knowledge of CKD than those in nonhealth\u2010related faculties and in the first\/second year of studies. With regards to anemia, individuals aged 20 years and beyond had good knowledge of anemia than teenage students. There was also a significant relationship between a student\u2019s faculty and general knowledge of anemia (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001), such that participants in health\u2010related faculties were about 99% less likely to have poor knowledge of anemia than those in nonhealth\u2010related faculties [AOR = 0.01 (0.00, 0.007)].\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Students with good knowledge of CKD, anemia, and\/or their interrelationships were the majority. However, students in health\u2010related faculties significantly had good knowledge of both CKD and anemia than their counterparts in nonhealth\u2010related faculties. Health\u2010related courses that would enlighten students in nonhealth\u2010related faculties should be promoted.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/tswj\/9993948","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T15:19:12Z","timestamp":1744039152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of the Knowledge of Chronic Kidney Disease and Anemia Among University Students in Ghana: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"given":"Israel A.","family":"Sarfo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benedicta","family":"Boakye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henrietta","family":"Eshun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Jingbeja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abigail","family":"Asmah-Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9686-8300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Adu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3950-6423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"Boachie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0158765"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","first-page":"S59","article-title":"The clinical and economic burden of anemia","volume":"16","author":"Smith R.
