Resistance to erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) is associated with mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Time-dependent variability of ESA resistance has been not investigated adequately, although consistently high ESA resistance is expected to be a high risk for mortality. Our aim, therefore, was to investigate consistently high ESA resistance as an independent predictor of mortality in HD patients.
