Receipt of Intravenous Iron and Clinical Outcomes among Hemodialysis Patients Hospitalized for Infection

Abstract: Background and objectives Anemia guidelines for CKD recommend withholding intravenous iron in the setting of active infection, although no data specifically support this recommendation. This study aimed to examine the association between intravenous iron and clinical outcomes among hemodialysis patients hospitalized for infection.Design, setting, participants, & measurements This was a retrospective observational cohort study using data from the US Renal Data System of 22,820 adult Medicare beneficiaries on in… Show more

“…The safety of intravenous iron dosing in dialysis is less certain. Intravenous iron has negative effects on the immune system in vitro (7) and variable effects on infection risks (8) and outcomes (9). It promotes oxidative stress (10) due to an increase in free iron availability, but the effect on cardiovascular outcomes is unclear.…”

“…It has been argued that given the potential risks, it would be prudent to avoid administering Fe to hemodialysis patients during acute infections. However, a retrospective observational cohort study using data from the US Renal Data System of 22,820 hemodialysis patients hospitalized for bacterial infection did not find any evidence to support withholding intravenous Fe upon admission for bacterial infection …”
