Beneficial Effects of Oral Iron in Japanese Patients on Hemodialysis.
Objective Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has become important with regard to mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the treatment of these patients. Methods IDA in end-stage renal disease patients on HD was observed in 42 (33.6%) of 125 patients. We examined the influence of daily orally iron [sodium ferrous citrate (SFC) iron/tablet 50 mg, 1-2 tablets] on the renal function markers, anemia and iron data for about 6 months. Results The hematocrit and hemoglobin levels were significantly increased in the patients treated with SFC [hematocrit: before 28.5%±2.1% (mean ± standard deviation), 1st month 30.0%±2.3%, p<0.05; 3rd month 32.4%±2.9%, p<0.05; 6th month 31.3%±3.4%, p<0.05; and hemoglobin: before 9.25±0.70, 1st month 9.72±0.71, p<0.05; 3rd month 10.54±0.96, p<0.05; 6th month 10.25±1.21 g/dL, p<0.05]. The transferrin saturation (TSAT) and serum ferritin levels were significantly increased in the patients treated with SFC (TSAT: before 21.5%±10.0%, 1st-3rd month, 34.1%±15.1%, p<0.05; 6-8th month 34.7%±11.9%, p<0.05; and ferritin: before 38.2±37.1, 6-8th month 67.5±44.0 ng/mL, p<0.05). The present findings clearly indicate that oral iron is an effective route of iron supplementation in HD patients, and no adverse effects associated with SFC occurred during the treatment and follow-up period. Conclusion Our results clearly indicate that oral iron delivered via SFC is a well-tolerated and effective form of iron supplementation in long-term HD and IDA patients in Japan.

Effect of iron as a new type of phosphate binder in hemodialysis patients.
Hyperphosphatemia is one of the major problems requiring management in the majority of hemodialysis patients and they require phosphate-binding agents to control the hyperphosphatemia. Aluminum hydroxide and calcium compounds are used currently as phosphate-binding agents to treat hyperphosphatemia, but these compounds can cause undesirable side effects. Therefore, the development of new phosphate-binding agents is imperative. It is well known that oral and intravenous administration of iron causes hypophosphatemia. We hypothesized that this side effect of iron may be beneficial for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients. Consequently, we conducted a fundamental and clinical investigation of the effects of iron administration. Membrane permeability of phosphorus in a mixture of sodium ferrous citrate and dessicated aluminium hydroxide in the presence of hydrogenated lecithin as a phosporic compound was examined. Fifteen patients undergoing hemodialysis were treated with 150 mg of sodium ferrous citrate given orally for eight weeks. The permeability of the filtering membrane to phosphorus decreased in accordance with the dosage of sodium ferrous citrate and dessicated aluminum hydroxide. The degree of phosphate-binding effect of sodium ferrous citrate was larger than that of dessicated aluminum hydroxide. Serum phosphorus decreased significantly during the experiment. These results suggest that the oral administration of sodium ferrous citrate as a new phosphate binder is a useful therapeutic method for hemodialysis in patients with hyperphosphatemia.
