Article Synopsis
- This study focused on whether zinc supplementation, specifically using zinc acetate hydrate, could help improve renal anemia in patients on hemodialysis with low zinc levels.
- It involved 21 patients over 6 months, measuring changes in zinc levels and erythropoietin resistance (ERI) to assess the impact of the supplementation.
- Results showed that zinc levels increased significantly, while the need for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and ERI decreased, indicating that correcting low zinc levels may benefit renal anemia management.
