AbstractIn the symposium "Anemia Management: Recognizing Opportunities and Improving Outcomes Through Nursing Interventions," Gail Wick discussed the nephrology nurse as a clinical change agent in the management of anemia of chronic renal failure. Matthew Lewis discussed the profile of sodium ferric gluconate complex, a new parenteral iron product, and Jamie Foret described his clinic's experience and research with this product. These discussions highlight how nurses, using effective and safe tools such as sodium ferric gluconate complex, can improve outcomes for hemodialysis patients.
