Abstract

Anemia is common in renal failure in both predialysis and in patients maintained on dialysis. Consequences of anemia include decreased cognitive function, decreased exercise tolerance and a feeling of inadequate well being as well as increased left ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation that result in increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Iron deficiency is the most common factor for erythropoietin resistance even in predialysis patients. This article reviews the factors involved in anemia in predialysis patients, management issues and current recommendations.
