Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been linked to higher heart failure (HF) risk. Anemia is a common consequence of CKD, and recent evidence suggests that anemia is a risk factor for HF.

Study findings support the monitoring and management of iron status in patients with early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Iron deficiency may also play an important role in this anemia because improvement in CHF has been seen with IV iron treatment alone. We call the interaction between chronic renal failure ...

Assignment patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to increased hemoglobin targets does not seem to improve outcomes. Recent analyses indicate that high epoetin doses or low epoetin ...

Among patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), those with anemia may especially reap cardiovascular benefits from finerenone treatment. Finerenone treatment reduces cardiovascular and kidney ...

Chronic kidney disease and anemia—both individually and together—spell bad news (in the form of increased mortality risk) for patients with heart failure, say the results of a new study of ...
