Cardiovascular events by different target hemoglobin levels in ESA-hyporesponsive hemodialysis patients: a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled study

Abstract Background The incidence of cardiovascular (CV) events is high in hemodialysis (HD) patients and is associated with hyporesponsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). However, there are no recommended target hemoglobin ranges for ESA-hyporesponsive patients. Methods We randomly...
