Abstract
Anemia is common and associated with adverse outcomes in children with chronic kidney disease. The management of anemia was dramatically changed due to the development of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and new understandings of iron metabolism. As the adverse effects of anemia have become more apparent and concerning, there has been a push to optimize ESA and iron therapy. This chapter will review the basic management of anemia in children undergoing dialysis and should provide a practical approach to the day-to-day management of anemia in children who require renal replacement therapy.
