Abstract

Roxadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates erythropoiesis and regulates iron metabolism. Additional data are needed regarding the effectiveness and safety of roxadustat as compared with standard therapy (epoetin alfa) for the treatment of anemia in patients undergoing dialysis.

Mechanisms of anemia in CKD.

Jodie L. Babitt, Herbert Y. Lin (2012)

Anemia is a common feature of CKD associated with poor outcomes. The current management of patients with anemia in CKD is controversial, with recent clinical trials demonstrating increased morbidity and mortality related to erythropoiesis stimulating agents. Here, we examine recent insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying anemia of CKD. These insights hold promise for the development of new diagnostic tests and therapies that directly target the pathophysiologic processes underlying this form of anemia.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1: master regulator of O2 homeostasis.

Gregg L. Semenza (1998)

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that mediates essential homeostatic responses to reduced O2 availability in mammals. Recent studies have provided insights into the O2-dependent regulation of HIF-1 expression, target genes regulated by HIF-1, and the effects of HIF-1 deficiency on cellular physiology and embryonic development.
