Program Overview
The KDOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines and Clinical Practice Recommendations for
Anemia in CKD in Adults states: "The finding of a TSAT less than 20% coupled with
a ferritin level greater than 500 ng/mL poses a particularly difficult problem for
clinicians."
Join Daniel Coyne, MD as he shares the results of an important
new clinical trial, Dialysis Patients' Response to IV Iron With Elevated Ferritin
(DRIVE), and examines the safety and efficacy of sodium ferric gluconate in managing
the anemic hemodialysis patient who is receiving adequate epoetin treatment, with
a serum ferritin level between 500 and 1200 ng/mL and TSAT ≤25%. You will find the results to be impressive.
