Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyA randomized comparison of ferumoxytol and iron sucrose for treating iron deficiency anemia in patients with CKD.
Few randomized controlled trials have compared intravenous iron products head to head in CKD patients with iron deficiency anemia. This study compared the efficacy and safety of two intravenous iron products (ferumoxytol [Feraheme injection] and iron sucrose [Venofer]) in patients with CKD and iron deficiency anemia. ⋯ In this randomized, controlled trial, ferumoxytol and iron sucrose showed comparable efficacy and adverse events rates.
