Hemoglobin target in children with chronic kidney disease: valuable new information. The international guideline from Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes suggests a hemoglobin target of 11 to 12 g/dl for children with chronic kidney disease. However, information to support this proposal is very limited in the pediatric population. Because of controversy, the unmet need is the establishment of an appropriate target hemoglobin level in children with chronic kidney disease. Here, Rheault and colleagues provide valuable new information, reporting the association of hemoglobin levels with cardiovascular morbidity in pediatric hemodialysis patients.
