ClinConnect Summary

This study explores the association between Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) levels and erythropoietin resistance in hemodialysis patients. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are commonly used to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, a significant proportion of patients exhibit hyporesponsiveness to ESAs, leading to suboptimal anemia management. SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase, regulates hypoxia and iron metabolism by modulating the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). Lower SIRT1 levels ma...
