Optimal response to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in haemodialysis (HD) patients requires provision of sufficient available iron. However, a balance between iron requirements and supplements remains a challenge in clinical practice. Reticulocyte parameters, i.e. reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr) and reticulocytes in a high-fluorescence intensity region (HFR), have been shown to be accurate predictors of iron-deficient erythropoiesis as compared with traditional markers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to appraise the diagnostic power of these two parameters in the early prediction of response to intravenous iron (IVFE) medications in HD patients receiving rHuEpo.
