This document discusses anemia in chronic kidney disease patients. It notes that anemia is typically normocytic and normochromic in CKD patients. The kidneys play an important role in red blood cell formation, and their dysfunction leads to anemia. The document outlines guidelines for evaluating and treating anemia in CKD patients, including ensuring adequate iron levels through supplementation and targeting a hemoglobin level of 10-11.5 g/dL through erythropoietin administration and iron therapy. Blood transfusions should be avoided when possible.

The patients should have sufficient iron
to achieve and maintain an Hb of 10 - 11.5 g/dl
• Serum ferritin > 100 ng/ml
OPTIMAL 200-500 ng / ml
• Transferrin saturation > 20
OPTIMAL 30-40

• Normalizing the Hb level of patients with CKD with
ESAs is associated with poor outcomes
• It is better to get a Hb target 10 to 11.5 gm/dL.
• Don’t target Hb rise at initiation more than 1-2
g/dl/month
Anemia due to CKD develops when
GFR declines to less than 30 mL/min
