Iron given by infusion to treat iron-deficiency anemia in CKD — safer and more effective than oral iron in advanced stages.
IV iron (ferric carboxymaltose, iron sucrose) corrects iron deficiency faster than oral iron and is standard when oral iron fails, eGFR is low, or ESA therapy begins. Monitoring includes ferritin, TSAT, and hemoglobin. Rare allergic reactions require supervised administration. IV iron should not be given during active infection.
