| [ Summary ] |
Iron supplementation is effective in ameliorating anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with iron deficiency. However, it has also been demonstrated that intravenous iron injection, especially multiple administration has the potential to induce oxidative stress in conjunction with CKD due to increased hydroxyl radical production attributable to Fenton's reaction. In contrast, ferric citrate formulations, which are oral phosphorus adsorbent, are unlikely to induced oxidative stress in CKD |
