Pediatric Patients on Hemodialysis
Conditions
Brief summary
Anemia is common in patients on hemodialysis (HD) due to lack of erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis and iron deficiency is occurring in HD patients due to chronic blood loss through the dialysis circuit, repeated blood sampling, shortened red blood cell life span and lack of adherence to treatment . Anemia is one of the most important complications that affects morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. It has significant impacts on those patients such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, decreased quality of life, exercise capacity and physical activity, growth retardation and decreased cognitive functions, left ventricular hypertrophy, and congestive heart failure So, proper management of anemia is very important .
