Abstract
Anemia management protocols encourage a consistent therapeutic approach that can increase the likelihood of patients achieving and maintaining stable hemoglobin levels within the target range of 17 to 12 g/dL recommended by the National Kidney Foundation. This article provides an overview of current concepts of anemia management that can be integrated into protocol development and refinement.
