Popis: Background: As the utilization of hemodialysis increases in China, it is critical to examine anemia management. Methods: Using data from the China Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS), we describe hemoglobin (Hgb) distribution and anemia-related therapies. Results: Twenty one percent of China's DOPPS patients had Hgb Conclusion: A large proportion of hemodialysis patients in China's DOPPS do not meet the expressed Hgb targets. Less frequent hemodialysis, patient financial contribution, and lack of a substantial increase in ESA dose at lower Hgb concentrations may partially explain this gap.
