Anaemic haemodialysis (HD) patients are treated with erythropoietin and intravenous iron for effective erythropoiesis. Since iron is a potent inducer and aggravator of pre-existing oxidative processes in HD patients, this study was aimed to evaluate the acute in vivo effect of two recommended iron doses on protein oxidation during the HD session.
