The two most widely available tests for assessing iron status are the TSAT and serum ferritin level. A very low serum ferritin (o30 ng/ml [o30 mg/l]) is indicative of iron deficiency.16 Except in this circumstance, the TSAT and serum ferritin level have only limited sensitivity.
Carencia real absoluta de hierro: hierro serico bajo, ferritina baja, transferrina alta, saturación baja

Déficit de Fe+ es causa de no respuesta a EPO
In patients with CKD-associated anemia, iron supplementation is intended to assure adequate iron stores for erythropoiesis, correct iron deficiency, and, in patients receiving ESA treatment, prevent iron deficiency from developing. Iron supplementation, particularly with intravenous iron, can enhance erythropoiesis and raise Hb levels in CKD patients with anemia even when TSAT and ferritin levels are not indicative of absolute iron deficiency, and even when bone marrow studies reveal adequate iron stores.38–40 Iron treatment, particularly when administered intravenously, has also been consistently demonstrated to improve the erythropoietic response to ESA treatment. For any individual patient the optimal balance of Hb level, ESA dose, and iron dose at which clinical benefit is maximized and potential risk is minimized is not known. Prescribing iron therapy for CKD patients is complicated by the relatively poor diagnostic utility of serum ferritin and TSAT tests to estimate body iron stores or for predicting a Hb response to
iron supplementation.23,30 Even examination of bone marrow iron stores, considered the ‘gold standard’ for assessment of iron stores, does not predict erythropoietic responsiveness to iron supplementation in patients with CKD with a high degree of accuracy. Most CKD patients with serum ferritin levels 4100 ng/ml (4100 mg/l) have normal bone marrow iron stores,16–21 yet many such patients will also have an increase in Hb concentration and/or reduction in ESA dose if supplemental iron is provided
The need to consider trends in iron status tests are highlighted by consideration of a patient with decreasing TSAT and ferritin levels which may signify the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding or excessive dialysis-associated blood loss. As another example, an increasing TSAT and ferritin level may
indicate excessive iron supplementation and a need to decrease or discontinue iron administration. Finally, an increase in ferritin level accompanied by a decrease in TSAT and Hb level suggests inflammation-mediated reticuloendothelial blockade
IV iron may be provided as a single large dose or as repeated smaller doses depending on the specific IV iron preparation used (with the highest single dose varying by specific formulation). It is common practice to provide an initial course of IV iron amounting to approximately 1000 mg; this may be repeated if an initial dose fails to increase Hb level and/or allow a decrease in ESA dose and if the TSAT remains r30% and serum ferritin remains
r500 ng/ml (r500 mg/l). In patients with Hb below the desired level who are receiving relatively high ESA doses, or in whom discontinuation of ESA therapy is preferred (for instance a CKD patient with malignancy), a therapeutic trial of additional IV iron (i.e., a single course of up to 1000 mg over a period of several weeks which can be repeated as needed) may be undertaken in patients with serum ferritin levels 4500 ng/ml (4500 mg/l) after due consideration of potential acute toxicities and long-term risks .
Serum ferritin and TSAT levels should not be measured until at least one week has elapsed since the most recent prior IV iron dose.
Oral iron is typically prescribed to provide approximately 200 mg of elemental iron daily (for instance ferrous sulfate 325 mg three times daily; each pill provides 65 mg elemental iron).
The suggestion for oral iron supplementation in children is 2–6 mg/kg/day of elemental iron in 2–3 divided doses.he recommendation for initial ferric gluconate therapy is 1.5 mg/kg for eight doses for irondeficient pediatric CKD 5HD patients and 1 mg/kg per week for iron-replete pediatric CKD 5HD patients, with subsequent dose adjustments made according to TSAT and/or ferritin levels.

Iron is essential for the growth and proliferation of most pathogens including many bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and helminthes, and also exerts subtle effects on immune function and host responses towards microbes.97 There is theoretical and experimental evidence to suggest that iron administration may worsen an existing infection but clinical evidence is lacking. In animal models, iron overload results in an impaired control of infections, specifically with intracellular bacteria or fungi.98–101 In humans, tissue iron overload has been considered as a risk factor for the acquisition of certain infections and for an unfavorable clinical course of the infection. Data in CKD patients are conflicting.102–104 Since current evidence cannot provide a clear answer as to whether specific CKD patient groups are at increased risk for infection, or of having a poorer outcome with infection when
anemia is treated with IV iron, the Work Group suggests that IV iron not be administered when patients have an active systemic infection.
Box 1
Primary (hereditary) hemochromatosis is due to an inherited defect of iron metabolism.
Secondary hemochromatosis is almost always due to a hereditary or acquired disorder of erythropoiesis and/or the treatment of such a disorder with blood transfusions.
Go to:
Iron overloading due to blood transfusions
The most important cause of secondary hemochromatosis is chronic transfusion therapy. Every unit of erythrocytes that is transfused contains about 200 to 250 mg of iron as a component of the red heme pigment (box 2). When the erythrocytes are broken down by the macrophage system, iron is freed from heme and stored in the body. As the normal daily loss of iron in sweat and in shed cutaneous and mucosal epithelial cells is only about 1 mg, a single unit of erythrocytes corresponds to about 200 daily rations of iron. Because excess iron cannot be eliminated from the body, it necessarily follows that chronic transfusion therapy brings the body’s iron balance very far out of equilibrium.
Box 2
Calculation of iron balance in transfusion therapy (example)
Donated blood contains about 0.5 mg iron per mL erythrocyte concentrate.
A 400 mL unit of donated erythrocytes contains about 200 mg of iron.
Transfusion of 100 units therefore involves loading with 20 g of iron.
Total body iron is normally 3 to 4 g.
Go to:
Clinical consequences
The clinical and pathological findings of iron overload in secondary hemochromatosis are similar to those seen in hereditary hemochromatosis. Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly may be present, the latter due to increased sequestration of erythrocytes in the spleen. Hepatic function is usually still normal, or only mildly impaired, at the time of diagnosis. Patients with thalassemia often develop finely nodular hepatic cirrhosis three or four decades into the course of their illness. Further consequences of iron overload include decreased glucose tolerance or overt diabetes mellitus, as well as cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure (1). Patients with MDS may have such a short life expectancy because of their bone marrow disease that certain consequences of iron overload, such as hepatic cirrhosis, do not have time to become severe.
Go to:
The pathophysiology of iron toxicity
The dictum "Only the dose keeps any substance from being a poison" (Paracelsus) is true of iron as well. Its toxicity in high doses comes from its ability to react with molecular oxygen, transferring electrons to it to create intermediate oxygen species, which, in turn, in the presence of iron, cause yet other highly reactive radicals to come into being. These can then attack lipids, proteins, and DNA, inducing cellular damage that ultimately becomes clinically manifest as organ dysfunction.
Iron is not dangerous if it is held in the storage molecule ferritin or bound to the transport protein transferrin. Once the storage and transport capacities of these molecules are exceeded, however, non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) begins to appear in the blood plasma. The redox-reactive part of NTBI, known as labile plasma iron (LPI), is rapidly taken up into cells by endocytosis. When the intracellular pool of LPI becomes too large, it can no longer be disposed of by the cell’s antioxidative mechanisms, and the formation of radicals ensues.

Diseases causing secondary hemochromatosis
The spectrum of iron-loading anemias encompasses both hereditary and acquired disorders of erythropoiesis. The congenital diseases in this category include the various types of thalassemia as well as sickle-cell anemia, pyruvate kinase deficiency, the various types of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA), hereditary spherocytosis, and X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) (box 3). Iron overloading is especially severe in homozygous ß-thalassemia.

Evaluar todas las posibles causas de anemia previo al inicio de AEE
Adultos ERC-ND: uso con Hb <10g/dl dependiendo de necesidad de transfusión, síntomas atribuibles a anemia, estado férrico
Evaluate iron states and correct deficiency.
Search for treatable causes (hemolysis, nutritional deficiency as B12, folate).
The minimum interval between ESA dose adjustments is 2 weeks because the effect of most dose changes will not be seen within a shorter interval.
In anemic children with CKD there are no RCTs examining the effects of ESA administration on hard outcomes. Therefore, any suggestion for Hb targets in this subgroup of CKD patients has to rely on results obtained in the adult CKD patient population and on clinical experience in the pediatric setting. The upper and lower Hb targets are opinion-based, in keeping with the lack of pediatric specific evidence. There are a number of factors unique to children that make exclusive reliance on evidence in adults inappropriate such as age-specific variation of normal Hb concentrations as well as QoL, growth, developmental, and psychological differences between children and adults.58 Limited data suggest that children with CKD and a Hb less than 9.9 g/dl (99 g/l) are at increased risk for mortality,139 left ventricular hypertrophy,140,141 and/or decreased exercise capacity142 compared to those with a Hb greater than 9.9 g/dl (99 g/l). When evaluated as a continuous variable, hematocrit (Hct) was linked directly to measures of improved health and physical functioning in a health based QoL questionnaire administered to a pediatric CKD population
Alfa y Beta[editar]
Las dos primeras versiones del fármaco fueron la epoetina alfa y epoetina beta. Ambas son comercializadas por la empresa farmacéutica estadounidense Amgen.
Aunque ambas variantes tienen una farmacocinética similar, la epoetina beta tienen una metabolización más lenta, llegando a necesitar en caso de utilizarse la vía intravenosahasta un 20% más de tiempo que la epoetina alfa para su eliminación total del organismo (la diferencia es menor cuando se utiliza la vía subcutánea).1 Así, la vida media de la epoetina en el organismo es de 6-8 horas, en contraste con las ESAs de generaciones posteriores, con una vida media significativamente mayor.2
Delta (Dynepo)[editar]
Existe también una versión posterior, la epoetina delta (Dynepo). Esta sustancia activa el gen de la eritropoyetina, y al contrario de las versiones anteriores (producidas por células de animales) es producida por células humanas.
Darbepoetina alfa es un fármaco estimulador de la eritropoyesis (ESA) de segunda generación; se trata de la versión sintética (recombinante) de la eritropoyetina (EPO), unahormona humana natural producida por los riñones. La darbepoetina, igual que su equivalente natural (EPO), estimula la eritropoyesis, es decir, la producción de eritrocitos(también llamados glóbulos rojos o hematíes).
Se produce por tecnología ADN recombinante en células de hamster chinos, y se diferencia de la eritropoyetina natural en que contiene dos cadenas más de oligosacaridos. Laproteína está formada por 165 aminoácidos.
Su vida media en el organismo es de unas 26 horas, en contraste con las 6-8 horas de vida media de las distintas epoetinas (ESA de primera generación). La Farmacocinética de la Darbepoetina es más compleja y más larga que la EPO normal, porque en su estructura hay cinco cadenas de carbohidratos unidas por un grupo amida y hay mucha mas siaoproteina. Esto permite una mejor administración de medicamento en los enfermos de insuficiencia renal crónica.

Abstract
Endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) consists of a central polypeptide core covered by post-translationally linked carbohydrates. Three of the four currently available erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA)--epoetin-alpha, epoetin-beta and epoetin-omega- are composed of an identical amino acid sequence, but glycosylation varies as a result of type- and host cell-specific differences in the production process. Epoetin-alpha and epoetin-beta resemble each other with respect to molecular characteristics and pharmacokinetic data, although epoetin-beta has a higher molecular weight, a lower number of sialylated glycan residues and possibly slight pharmacokinetic advantages such as a longer terminal elimination half-life. A serious adverse effect of long-term administration of ESA is pure red cell aplasia. This effect has been observed predominantly with subcutaneous use of epoetin-alpha produced outside the US after albumin was removed from the formulation. In comparison with the intravenous route, subcutaneous administration of epoetin has been reported to have a dose-sparing effect in some studies. Epoetin-beta has been the subject of studies aimed at proving efficacy with a reduced administration frequency but results are not unequivocal. Epoetin-omega is produced in a different host cell than all other erythropoietic agents, hence glycosylation and pharmacokinetics are different. Small-scale clinical studies found epoetin-omega to be slightly more potent than epoetin-alpha. Epoetin-delta is a recently approved agent produced by human cells that are genetically engineered to transcribe and translate the EPO gene under the control of a newly introduced regulatory DNA sequence. However, epoetin-delta is not yet on the market and few data are available. The erythropoietin analogue darbepoetin-alpha carries two additional glycosylation sites that permit a higher degree of glycosylation. Consequently, in comparison with the other epoetins, darbepoetin-alpha has a longer serum half-life and a higher relative potency, which further increases with extension of the administration interval. Dosage requirements of darbepoetin-alpha do not appear to differ between the intravenous and subcutaneous routes of administration. The less frequent administration of darbepoetin-alpha in comparison to the other epoetins may reduce drug costs in the long term, but the variability in dosage or dosage frequency required within a single patient is high. Further studies should be aimed at defining predictors of the individual demand for erythropoietic agents, thereby allowing nephrologists to prescribe a cost-effective, individualised regimen.

When converting a patient from one ESA to another the
pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of
the new ESA need to be taken into consideration. The
manufacturers have provided conversions from epoetinalfa
or epoetin-beta to darbepoetin-alfa or CERA. Note that
the conversion ratios from epoetin to darbepoetin are
non-linear.

In anemic children with CKD there are no RCTs examining the effects of ESA administration on hard outcomes. Therefore, any suggestion for Hb targets in this subgroup of CKD patients has to rely on results obtained in the adult CKD patient population and on clinical experience in the pediatric setting. The upper and lower Hb targets are opinion-based, in keeping with the lack of pediatric specific evidence. There are a number of factors unique to children that make exclusive reliance on evidence in adults inappropriate such as age-specific variation of normal Hb concentrations as well as QoL, growth, developmental, and psychological differences between children and adults.58 Limited data suggest that children with CKD and a Hb less than 9.9 g/dl (99 g/l) are at increased risk for mortality,139 left ventricular hypertrophy,140,141 and/or decreased exercise capacity142 compared to those with a Hb greater than 9.9 g/dl (99 g/l). When evaluated as a continuous variable, hematocrit (Hct) was linked directly to measures of improved health and physical functioning in a health based QoL questionnaire administered to a pediatric CKD population
Higher target is associated with increased risks for:
Stroke (RR 1.5, 95% CI 1.03-2.21).
Hypertension (RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.31-2.12).
Vascular thrombosis (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.16-1.53).

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in Early Anemia Treatment with Epoetin Beta (CREATE, 2006) and Correction of Hemoglobin and Outcomes in Renal Insufficiency (CHOIR,2006) trials to present their findings, which, according to meeting organizers, have important medical and policy implications for all nephrologists (Drüeke TB et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;355:2071-2084. Singh AK et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;355:2085-2098). The studies showed no cardiovascular benefit from treating predialysis patients to normal hemoglobin levels observed in healthy individuals, and they reinforce the need to treat to "subnormal" hemoglobin levels as indicated in current treatment guidelines. This message was reiterated in the FDA alert that followed the publication of the CHOIR results

La elevación del hematocrito también se en el 10-15% de los pacientes que recibieron un trasplante renal, luego de transcurridos 24 meses. Este aumento tiene una multitud de causas , y se asocia con una gran morbilidad. Una revisión de 53 casos de eritrocitosis posterior al trasplante renal reportó un incremento de los eventos tromboembólicos (18,9%) comparado con receptores de trasplante renal sin hematocrito elevado (0 %), aunque este resultado no coincide con todos los estudios. Ensayos aleatorizados prospectivos demuestran que estos pacientes suelen responder bien a los inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina o a los bloqueantes de los receptores de angiotensina, lo que lleva a una reducción del hematocrito dentro de los 3 meses. En estos se deben tomar medidas para evitar la deshidratación, como el uso prudencial de los diuréticos y la rehidratación en caso de diarrea o vómitos. Los pacientes que no responden a los inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina o la bloqueantes de los receptores de angiotensina pueden ser tratados mediante una flebotomía para descender el hematocrito a menos de 0,45, pero en este caso, la deficiencia de hierro se puede convertir en un problema. Como sucede en todos los casos de eritrocitosis, se puede hacer tratamiento de reemplazo del hierro en forma cautelosa , pero hematocrito debe ser estrechamente supervisado
