Anemia in chronic kidney disease: new advances.

Abstract

Anemia resulting from iron and erythropoietin deficiencies is a common complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). This article covers major advances in our understanding of anemia in patients with CKD, including newly discovered regulatory molecules, such as hepcidin, to innovative intravenous iron therapies. The use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia has undergone seismic shift in the past 3 years as a result of adverse outcomes associated with targeting higher hemoglobin levels with these agents. Potential mechanisms for adverse outcomes, such as higher mortality, are discussed. Despite the disappointing experience with ESAs, there is a tremendous interest in other novel agents to treat anemia in CKD. Lastly, while awaiting updated guidelines, the authors outline their recommendations on how to best manage patients who are anemic and have CKD.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
