The burden on patients
Anaemia of CKD has a substantial impact on patients' lives
It is associated with poor clinical outcomes and reduced quality of life.
Symptoms of anaemia overlap with those of CKD1 and may add to the burden of CKD.
Untreated anaemia may accelerate progression of CKD.
Current management of CKD is often sub-optimal
Concern about the risks of over-correcting haemoglobin may lead to under-treatment of patients.
