1. Algorithm for management of anemia of CKD in adults
Algorithm for management of anemia of CKD in adults.39,104 (CKD, chronic kidney disease; ESA, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent; Hb, hemoglobin; ND-CKD, non-dialysis CKD patients; TSat, transferrin saturation.) See Table 44-5 for definitions of evidence grading in brackets. aSee Table 44-7 and text for discussion of Hb levels. b Clinical judgement should be used to determine if iron supplementation should be continued when ferritin >500 ng/mL (μg/L; >1,120 pmol/L). cWeekly monitoring of Hb may be warranted. Wait at least 1 week after an IV dose of iron to measure TSat and ferritin.
