How are the platelets affected in CKD?

1:43 that just boggles the mind now doesn't it. No test for erythropoietin to give erythropoietin, and no serum iron criteria (actual iron made available by the body) to give iron. Erythroferrone hormone would suppress hepcidin, ie if the body needs blood, it overrides inflammation concerns. So serum iron would still be a decent test, at least after erythropoietin levels were checked and corrected. 8:09 the mean Hb level for women is 12. So how can you be deficient just below that? Isn't the standard definition of anemia outside of nephrology two standard deviations from the mean? 9:25 Ferritin less than 100 is not only normal but healthy. You guys are insane, I'm sorry to say, to want to get ferritin above 500. I'm not sure I have words for this: 325 mg iron three times daily for 1-3 months? That's more than 30g of iron in one month. Give absorption of 15%, that's 4.5g - 13.5g extra iron that can't leave the body, ever, pretty much. Normal total body iron is 2g - 4g. I think erythropoietin can be prescribed by other doctors not bound by these guidelines.

Profound information and thorough too, but communicated in choppy and sporadic information with poor connection between thoughts

In the presence of very good lectures on anemia, one should not listen this unexplained lecture
