Abstract
We review the treatment of renal anemia with intravenous iron sucrose in predialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. The available evidence shows that intravenous iron sucrose is a highly effective treatment for iron-deficiency anemia in patients with renal disease Moreover, intravenous iron sucrose is a cost-effective treatment because it reduces the required dosage of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. Intravenous iron sucrose is safe and well-tolerated and, therefore, represents a good choice for the treatment and prevention of iron-deficiency anemia.
