Anemia management protocols and epoetin alfa administration: an algorithm approach. Case study of the anemic patient

Abstract
Anemia management protocols provide a consistent, standardized, therapeutic approach that can help nurses and other members of the nephrology team achieve more stable Hb levels within the target range of 11 to 12 g/dL recommended by the NKF-K/DOQI. This article provides an overview of Winthrop University Hospital's anemia management protocol, with a focus on an Epoetin alfa algorithm that was developed to guide therapeutic interventions.
