Flashcard 5: Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are generally recommended in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) when hemoglobin levels fall below _____ .

Answer: 10 g/dL

Extra: In patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are typically initiated when the hemoglobin level falls below 10 g/dL. The goal of treatment is to maintain hemoglobin between 10.0 and 11.5 g/dL. Higher targets (>13 g/dL) are avoided because they have been linked to an increased risk of stroke, hypertension, and cardiovascular complications (as demonstrated in the TREAT and CREATE trials). Additionally, iron stores must be adequate (TSAT > 20% and ferritin > 100-200 ng/mL) before starting ESAs for optimal response.
