In a randomised study, a single 15-minute injection of ferric carboxymaltose, with up to two additional doses as required, resulted in 53.2% of ND-CKD patients achieving > or =1 g/dL increase in haemoglobin by day 56 without ESA, compared to 29.9% of patients given oral iron supplements...
There are several types of oral iron supplements available for the treatment of iron deficiency; iron-only supplements are typically available in the form of ferrous or ferric salts. Heme-iron preparations are a newer type of oral iron supplement derived from bovine hemoglobin that are also ...
Anemia: When the hemoglobin level is below 10 g/dL, treat with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), which include epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa, after iron saturation and ferritin levels are at acceptable levels; patients on dialysis for more than 3 months may be treated with the hypoxi...

When the amount of blood cells are lower than normal, you also have decreased levels of hemoglobin (also called Hb). Hb is the iron-rich protein that allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Less Hb means less oxygen to your tissues and org...
From 1 year of age, commercially available fortified milk drinks (with a suitably low phosphate and potassium content) may be useful as they contain iron, vitamin D, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may enhance the diet of the toddler with CKD. Also known as “Young Child Formulas...

and practical advice is given on several common issues: renal biopsy in diabetes; dual blockade of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS); management of iron deficiency; low protein diet; dietary salt intake; bicarbonate supplementation; treatment of obesity; the choice of conservative ...
Vitamin D and PTH 4.2.1 In patients with CKD G3a–G5 not on dialysis with levels of intact PTH above the upper normal limit of the assay, what is the evidence for benefit or harm in reducing dietary phosphate intake or treating with phosphate-binding agents, calcium supplements, or native...
