Renal anemia is one of the most common complications in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), which seriously affects their quality of life and survival time [1, 2]. In maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients, the decline in renal function leads to insufficient secretion of endogenous erythropoietin. Meanwhile, factors such as shortened red blood cell lifespan, altered iron homeostasis, a
