Open AccessIndividualized anemia management enhanced by ferric pyrophosphate citrate protocol
The optimal use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and parenteral iron in managing anemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains controversial. One-size-fits-all rule-based algorithms dominate dosi...
