Anemia management protocols in ESRD call for hemoglobin (Hb) monitoring every 2 to 4 weeks. Short-term Hb variability affects the reliability of Hb measurement and may lead to incorrect dosing of erythropoiesis stimulating agents. We prospectively analyzed short-term Hb variability and quantified the relationship between frequency of Hb monitoring and error in Hb estimation.
