Abstract
Anemia is a common and disabling complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Current therapies can be burdensome, and full correction of anemia is limited by their cardiovascular side effects. New approaches that may offer additional therapeutic options are needed. We explored the antianemic effects of erythroferrone, an erythroid hormone that induces iron mobilization by suppressing the master iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin. In a preclinical murine model of adenine-induced CKD, transgenic augmentation of erythroferrone mobilized iron, increased hemoglobin concentrations by approximately 2 g/dL, and modestly improved renal function without affecting systemic or renal inflammation, fibrosis, or markers of mineral metabolism. This study supports the concept that therapeutic augmentation of erythroferrone is a promising approach for alleviating CKD-associated anemia.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
