Evidence for tissue iron overload in long-term hemodialysis patients and the impact of withdrawing parenteral iron

Background/aims Erythropoiesis in long‐term hemodialyzed (LTH) patients is supported by erythropoietin (rHuEpo) and intravenous (IV) iron. This treatment may end up in iron overload (IO) in major organs. We studied such patients for the parameters of IO in the serum and in major organs. Methods Pati...
