Darbepoetin in chronic kidney disease and dialysis patients; an updated review of outcomes

Individuals with chronic renal failure in stage three and after demonstrate anemia as a frequent complication. Although target hemoglobin levels remain debatable in pre-dialysis and dialysis patients, correction of anemia with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) has resulted in reduced need for...
