Popis: Purpose The objective of this short review is to evaluate the efficacy of ferric pyrophosphate citrate and to determine its place in therapy based on the current published literature. Methods A literature search was conducted and pared down to yield 4 placebo controlled Phase II and III clinically relevant trials. Findings Ferric pyrophosphate citrate is a new intradialytic iron supplementation product that has been found to reduce the dose of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and intravenous iron supplementation and to increase serum ferritin concentrations. Implications This agent may be administered to patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis as a new iron supplementation option to maintain hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin concentrations.
