aki, anemia, epo

[sluggs]

I recently started practicing in a setting where heme prescribes epo or darbo for anemia in patients who have aki.
anybody know of evidence or literature to support this?

No evidence of any benefit whatsoever.

There is strong evidence that giving epo in the setting of AKI and anemia is great for billing and boosting your bank account.
