The proportion of patients receiving Higher haemoglobin levels are erythropoiesis treatment appears to associated with worse patient have increased slightly in 2015. PD outcomes during treatment with patients are less likely to receive epoetin. Therefore, international epoetin (ESA) treatment than HD guidelines suggest haemoglobin levels patients. should be kept within the range of 100-120 g/L. This includes treatment with iron and epoetin therapy.
