Prevalence of Hemoglobin Cycling and Its Clinical Impact on Outcomes in Thai End-Stage Renal Disease Patients Treated with Hemodialysis and Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent.

CONCLUSION: Hemoglobin cycling was commonly found in Thai ESRD patients treated with hemodialysis and ESA. The influence of hemoglobin cycling on mortality and hospitalization rates could not be significantly demonstrated in the present study; however both mortality and hospitalization rates showed an upward trend in patients with hemoglobin cycling.
