Abstract

Iron supplements and/or blood transfusions in combination with recombinant human erythropoietin injections are routinely used to correct renal anemia, which is a common complication of end-stage renal disease. However, massive blood transfusions and inadequate intravenous iron supplementation can lead to iron overload syndrome, and anemia is not always nephrogenic. A rare clinical case of a patient with end-stage chronic kidney disease with complex genesis of anemia, who is on hemodialysis, is presented. The case is interesting because the prescription of first-line drugs was life-threatening in nature, and sevelamer was the drug chosen for the correction of mineral-bone disorders.
