KAYSVILLE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Two presentations during the American Society of Nephrology’s Renal Week demonstrated that frequently monitoring hemoglobin during hemodialysis will provide physicians with trending information that may reduce hemoglobin variability. The study demonstrated increased time-in-target range for hemoglobin in end-stage renal disease patients. The study suggests that increased frequency of hemoglobin monitoring may contribute to more accurate dosing for anti-anemia medication (e.g., erythropoietin stimulating agents, or ESAs) and lead to improved outcomes. The study used Hemametrics’s Crit-Line III TQA hematocrit monitor.
