Prevalence and predictors of the sub-target Hb level in children on dialysis
Original language description
Background. Anaemia is a common and potentially treatable co-morbidity of end-stage renal disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of the sub-target haemoglobin (Hb) level among European children on dialysis and to identify factors associated with alow Hb level. Methods. From the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN)/European Renal Association-European Dialysis Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) registry, data were available on 2351 children between 1 month and 18 years of age, totalling 5546 measurements from 19 countries. Results. The mean Hb level was 10.8 g/dL (5th-95th percentiles, 7.4-13.9). Among those above 2 years of age, the mean Hb level was 10.9 g/dL (11.4% below 8.5 g/dL), while it was 10.3 g/dL among those below 2 years (11.2% below 8.0 g/dL). A total of 91.2% of the patients were on an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA). Hb levels increased with age and were higher in peritoneal dialysis compared with haemodialysis patients.
