Abstract
Management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been revolutionized by the advent of erythropoietin replacement. We briefly review its characteristics and clinical use. Also emphasized is the importance of iron deficiency in limiting the clinical response to erythropoietin therapy. Iron-replacement therapy in ESRD patients is briefly discussed.
