Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the factors influencing hemoglobin variability with inflammatory and nutritional parameters and its associations with all-cause mortality among hemodialysis patients.

Detailed description

Fluctuation in hemoglobin levels that is known as hemoglobin variability during treatment with ESA is a well-documented phenomenon. Several factors have been found to affect hemoglobin variability, including drug related, such as pharmacokinetic parameters, patient-related differences in demographic characteristics and factors affecting clinical status, as well as clinical practice guidelines, treatment protocols and reimbursement policies. Inflammation is also an important factor associated with hemoglobin variability, and the consequences of persistent inflammatory activity are far-reaching in affected patients. In present study, the factors influencing hemoglobin variability with inflammatory and nutritional parameters and its associations with all-cause mortality among hemodialysis patients are investigated.
