Renal Anemia – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Renal Anemia (US)
Renal anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). When kidneys are diseased or impaired, they fail to generate enough erythropoietin, causing renal anemia. The primary goal of treatment is to increase and maintain Hb levels and reduce the risk of complications of chronic hypoxia, mortality, and cardiovascular disease. The severity of CKD and Hb levels dictate the choice of therapy. Renal anemia patients who are not on dialysis are initially treated with oral iron, followed by IV iron; erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are prescribed as third-line therapy. Dialysis patients usually receive IV iron therapy followed by ESAs. Several ESAs and iron supplements are available, with varying degrees of commercial success. This report provides important insight into how these agents are used in the management of renal anemia and how practices are evolving.
