Abstract

Some time has passed since the torrent of discussion surrounding the cardiovascular risk of pushing up hemoglobin concentrations in dialysis patients with erythropoietin. The debate here reflects a look back on the tension produced by confusing data and outcomes. Is it the target hemoglobin per se or the high doses of erythropoietin in subsets of resistant patients that is the problem? You decide.
