Correction of Anemia with Epoetin Alfa in Chronic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: The use of a target hemoglobin level of 13.5 g per deciliter (as compared with 11.3 g perDeciliter) was associated with increased risk and no incremental improvement in the quality of life and the use of epoetin alfa targeted to achieve a level of 11.4 g perdeciliter was not associated with an increased risk.
