| Description |
Among patients on dialysis being treated with epoetin, hemoglobin level variability per se is not a primary driver of increased mortality, according to a study of Medicare recipients. Rather, the amount of time in which hemoglobin levels are below the target range of 11 to 12.5 g/dL is the most significant risk factor for death. Reuters Health Information |
