    Abstract Anaemia is one of the most common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), having a significant impact on quality of life, and is also associated with a number of adverse clinical outcomes. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, caused largely by an inadequate production of erythropoietin from the diseased kidneys, with iron deficiency, inflammation, shortened red cell lifespan and enhanced blood loss also being contributory factors. The management of this condition was transformed in the late 1980s by the advent of recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin), and treatment paradigms have developed over the last three decades, largely focusing on a combination of epoetin or its analogues (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents; ESAs) along with iron supplementation, often administered intravenously due to increased hepcidin levels limiting iron absorption from the gut. Indeed, in patients with early CKD and iron deficiency, iron per se may be sufficient to improve the anaemia, delaying the need for ESA therapy. Other causes of anaemia should be excluded and corrected (if possible) before resorting to treatment with ESAs and iron. More recently, the hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors have entered the therapeutic arena; these are orally active agents that upregulate endogenous erythropoietin production as well as a number of iron-regulatory genes which may also enhance erythropoiesis. The latter drugs are highly efficacious, and may have advantages in inflammatory conditions causing resistance to conventional ESA therapy, but concerns exist regarding their safety, particularly in the longer term. This article reviews the current standards of treatment, as well as recent novel developments in the management of anaemia in CKD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors have recently been developed as a new treatment for anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several of these have been approved in Europe (roxadustat), China, and Japan, but none approved in the United States to date, although daprodustat has been submitted as a new drug application to the Food and Drug Administration. The aim of this review is to critically appraise the available data, particularly the most recent publications, and offer a personal viewpoint on whether or not these drugs are ready for primetime.
    Recent findings: The efficacy of HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors in improving CKD anemia and maintaining a higher hemoglobin is undisputed, but there remain some concerns about safety, particularly in the long term. Some of the safety concerns may result from an exaggerated pharmacological response, while other potential adverse effects could be due to transcriptional effects of these agents beyond genes involved in erythropoiesis.
    Summary: HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors are already being used in clinical practice in several countries of the world, and ongoing research is being conducted to define the role of these drugs not only in the management of anemia but also beyond into other clinical settings.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Iron deficiency is a major contributory cause to the development of anaemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and thus, iron replacement therapy plays a critical role in the management of this condition. The two main routes for administering iron are oral and intravenous, and there have been a number of new publications relevant to both routes of administration.
    Recent findings: Recent developments on the topic of iron management in CKD include the introduction of new oral iron preparations, as well as two recent meta-analyses on iron therapy in CKD (one on oral versus intravenous iron, and one on high- versus low-dose intravenous iron in haemodialysis patients). There is also increasing interest in other strategies to improve iron availability, such as intradialytic iron, hypoxia-inducible factor stabilization and antihepcidin strategies.
    Summary: Even despite the latest publications in this field, we are still left with serious gaps in our evidence base on how best to provide supplemental iron to CKD patients. Most of the evidence suggests that intravenous iron is superior to oral iron in increasing haemoglobin and minimizing the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, but the safety of intravenous iron remains a controversy. The PIVOTAL study will hopefully provide informative data to fill some of the gap in the evidence-base and inform best clinical practice.
