Recent Changes in Anemia Management: The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Anemia Guideline versus the Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN)

The management of anemia is important for health outcomes for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Global evidenced-based guidelines must be placed in the Canadian context to be relevant to guide practice. This paper summarizes the response of the Canadian Society of Nephrology to global anemia management guidelines in CKD and the implications for practice.
