Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how oral ferric citrate hydrate (FCH) affects iron absorption in hemodialysis patients and looked at the role of hepcidin-25, a hormone that regulates iron metabolism, in this process.
- - Over six months, 268 participants were treated with FCH, and researchers tracked changes in serum iron levels to assess absorption, finding that lower hepcidin-25 levels correlated with better iron absorption.
- - Results indicated that as erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) was limited, patients experienced higher hepcidin-25 levels, leading to lower iron absorption from the intestine despite ongoing treatment with FCH.
Introduction: We describe a hemodialysis patient who developed subclavian steal syndrome via an arteriovenous fistula after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Case Description: A 55-year-old female with end-stage renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease had been treated with hemodialysis for 10 years. Because of an autologous arteriovenous fistula stenosis, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed.
