Program Overview
Anemia of CKD is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in patients with health disparities, which leads to significant morbidity and mortality. This educational activity will review the current and emerging treatment options for anemia of CKD and strategies to minimize healthcare disparities in these patients. 

Goal Statement
The goal of this program is to improve the knowledge and competence of learners about current and emerging treatment options for anemia of CKD and strategies to minimize healthcare disparities in the management of patients with anemia and CKD.

Target Audience
This activity is intended for pharmacists, including managed care, specialty, and clinical pharmacists, who care for patients with anemia of CKD, as well as pharmacy directors, chief pharmacy officers, and other stakeholders in pharmacy practice.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss the underrecognition and undertreatment of anemia in patients with CKD and the subsequent burden of disease
  • Recognize the pathophysiology of anemia of CKD
  • Evaluate clinical trial data on the physiologic actions, efficacy, and safety of HIF-PH inhibitors and their potential role in the management of anemia of CKD
  • Incorporate health disparity mitigation strategies into the care of patients with anemia of CKD
