Abstract

Background. Indoxyl sulfate (IS) suppresses erythropoietin (EPO) activity and exerts renal damage. The oral adsorbent AST-120 reduces IS load and has antioxidant and renoprotective properties; however, its roles in the treatment of anemia remain unclear in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods. Fifty-one Stage 5 predialysis CKD patients with hemoglobin
