Renal anemia: current treatments and emerging molecules.
Revista Clínica Espanõla 2023 June 21
Anemia is a common complication of kidney disease and the prevalence increases as the disease progresses. It worsens the quality of life of patients and increases morbidity and mortality. The current rationale for treating renal anemia is based on the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, iron supplementation and, to a lesser extent, the use of transfusions. Stimulation of endogenous erythropoietin synthesis and improvement of iron availability, through inhibition of prolil-hydroxilase- hypoxia-inducible factor (PH-HIF), represents a new oral alternative for renal anemia treatment. Clinical trials with PH-HIF inhibitors have demonstrated their efficacy in maintaining target hemoglobin levels. However, aspects concerning long-term safety are pending a clarification. In conclusion, advances in the pathogenesis of renal anemia make it possible to have current treatments to treat renal anemia. The development of new molecules, based on the inhibition of PH-HIF, represents a new effective alternative for anemia associated with kidney disease, especially in patients with resistance to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.
