Abstract EN
The Gulf Cooperation Council-Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (GCC-DOPPS) marks the joining of the six Gulf region countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to the main DOPPS study in 2012.
The current review is a descriptive reporting on results related to the management of anemia from these countries.
Our data demonstrate consistent anemia management patterns across the GCC countries allowing the achievement of international treatment levels.
Overall, the majority of hemodialysis patients were prescribed appropriate erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and supplemental iron, enabling the attainment of mean hemoglobin (Hb) level of 10.9 g/dL.
Comparisons of the individual country profiles reveal individual differences in the choice and mode of ESA and iron administration.
However, all countries displayed good compliance with guideline recommendations.
The same challenges as elsewhere are faced in the GCC, with respect to optimizing Hb levels and judiciously using ESA and iron supplements.
