Interesting. I would be happier if they mentioned bone marrow failures rather than just dialysis patients.

Thanks for posting this, maybe something to watch out for.
The article mentions that it will reduce the need for IV iron in patients with kidney problems, it will be interesting to understand the mechanism of action and how it works as anemic MDS patients do not need IV iron at all.
