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.
Patients with anemia may know some of the risks associated with the condition, but do they know about potential cancer-related risks? How can health care professionals educate patients on the risks, and what is known about the potential association between newly diagnosed anemia and cancer risk?
Investigators report results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of data from 23 randomized controlled trials involving 15,144 patients with anemia of CKD.
