Risk for Intracerebral Hemorrhage May Be Transmissible Via Blood Transfusion
Risk was increased for those receiving transfusion from donors who later developed multiple spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages
Anemia
ANEMIA
Greater Hemoglobin Variability on ESAs Ups Infection Risk
Whether reducing hemoglobin variability will improve patient outcomes remains unclear.
Transfusing Red Blood Cells With Longer Storage Time Might Lower Graft Failure Risk
Study findings challenge purported benefits of transfusing fresh red blood cells.
Dementia Linked to Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease
Additional studies are needed to determine whether anemia itself is a risk factor for dementia in the CKD population.
Anemia Remains Considerable Global Health Challenge
Large variation in anemia burden by age, sex, geography; burden increased for children younger than 5 years, women, those residing in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia regions
Increase in Incident Anemia Seen With Low-Dose Aspirin in Older Adults
Risk for anemia incidence and decline in ferritin greater for seniors receiving low-dose aspirin
RBC Transfusions Commonly Lead to Hyperkalemia, Hospitalization in CKD
Use of intravenous iron and ESAs was low among patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD.
Upper GI Erosions Are the Most Frequent Non-CV Events in the Dialysis Population
The rate of esophageal and gastric erosions among patients on dialysis eligible for anemia treatment was approximately 49 events per 100 patient-years, investigators report.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion Rate Highest With Persistent ESA Hyporesponse
Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis rather than hemodialysis or both modalities have the lowest rate of ESA hyporesponse.
ESA Hyporesponse Tied to Adverse Events in Dialysis Population
Patients with persistent ESA hyporesponse had especially high rates of adverse events.
