Intravenous iron significantly improved ferritin and transferrin saturation levels, enhancing anaemia management.
Mean ferritin increase was 153.07 ng/mL, with a p-value less than 0.0001, confirming strong efficacy.
A systematic review was conducted across 9 studies, assessing the safety and effects of iron therapy in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Future research should focus on optimal dosing and the effects of iron therapy on broader health outcomes, including cardiovascular health.
