In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, an interprofessional panel of experts examines the efficacy and safety data for HIF-PH inhibitors in the treatment of CKD-associated anemia and discusses best practices for working collaboratively with other members of the healthcare team to identify patients with CKD who are at risk for anemia The panel also considers current and emerging treatment strategies that pharmacists can use to improve the clinical management of CKD-associated anemia. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the rationale for involving clinical pharmacists in the management of anemia associated with CKD; Differentiate the mechanisms of action of HIF-PH inhibitors from other treatments for anemia associated with CKD; Evaluate the clinical potential of HIF-PH inhibitors as an emerging treatment approach for anemia in patients with DD-CKD or NDD-CKD; ad Apply evidence-based strategies within the context of health-system pharmacy to identify patients with CKD-associated anemia who would likely benefit from treatment with a HIF-PH inhibitor.
