Anaemia: Targeting epigenetics in renal anaemia

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 125 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.5 Author: Susan J. Allison Anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease results from impaired function of renal erythropoietin-producing cells (REPCs), leading to insufficient erythropoiesis. Now research suggests a mechanistic role for epigenetic changes in the reduced function of REPCs in fibrosis and demonstrates that targeting these changes can restore erythropoietin
