RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Anemia in chronic kidney disease: Causes, diagnosis, treatment JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 289 OP 297 VO 73 IS 3 A1 Saul Nurko YR 2006 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/73/3/289.abstract AB Most patients with chronic kidney disease eventually become anemic. We should view the management of anemia in these patients as part of the overall management of the many clinically relevant manifestations of chronic kidney disease. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are safe and should be used, as treating anemia may forestall some of the target-organ damage of chronic kidney disease.
