Abstract
Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease(CKD),particularly in dialysis patients. Correction of anemia in CKD patients includes the administration of both recombinant human erythropoietin and intravenous iron.Iron deficiency is globally the most common nutritional deficiency and is also the most common cause of anemia. Hemoglobin levels may remain normal for a while after iron deposits are diminished. Iron deficiency may be observed without anemia and only the plasma ferritin level and the plasma transferrin saturation are reduced in this period.Once iron deposits are depleted,the hemoglobin level begins to drop.This means that this condition of diminished iron deposits in the body is referred to as iron deficiency and a continuation of this condition and the consequent development of anemia is referred to as iron deficiency anemia.
