Abstract
Background: Anemia almost invariably occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease. Limited data are available re-garding anemia management in Latin American (LA) he-modialysis (HD) patients. Objective: To evaluate the results of the first anemia survey of the Anemia Committee of the SLANH. Methods: This is a multinational, voluntary survey that collected anemia management data from adult HD patients from independent, non-chain owned HD units, between 09/2009 and 03/2010. T-test, ANOVA, chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.
