Signal-intensity-ratio MRI accurately estimates hepatic iron load in hemodialysis patients

BACKGROUND Iron overload, diagnosed by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is an increasingly recognized disorder in hemodialysis patients. Specific MRI protocols have been shown to provide a reliable estimation of tissue iron content in non-renal patient populations but have not been validated in dialysis patients. Such validation studies require liver biopsy for histological comparison...

Iron requirements in hemodialysis.

The correction of anemia in dialysis patients with erythropoietin (EPO) can be frustrated by insufficient iron. To address this effect, we preloaded candidate EPO patients with intravenous iron in the early 1990s. Preloading with 900-1,525 mg of iron yielded the following results: 70% of patients had increasing hematocrits (HCTs) without EPO, and 40% of patients had HCTs greater than 30%. Appar...

Biochemical markers of iron status in hemodialysis patients.

INTRODUCTION Secondary lack of iron in patients on hemodyalisis is the main cause of inadequate answer on therapy of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO). Therefore, it is very important to follow the status of iron in these patients. OBJECTIVES The objectives of our study were to define the value of hemoglobin content in reticulocytes as predictor of functional iron deficiency on hemodi...
