The Effect of Roxadustat on Transfusion-Dependent Myelodysplastic Syndrome Complicated by Chronic Kidney Disease

Haematopoietic insufficiency is the treatment target of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Although erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are generally effective for treating anaemia, resistance can develop. Hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) improves renal anaemia by pr...
