Comparing two blood tests to guide iron treatment in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a new blood test (reticulocyte hemoglobin) is better than the usual iron test (transferrin saturation) for guiding when to give iron to people on dialysis. If you have anemia (low red blood cells) from kidney disease, this study may help doctors find the best way to treat your iron levels.
