Treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are undergoing hemodialysis. It is specifically indicated for patients who require iron supplementation during their dialysis treatments.
Triferic is added to the dialysate solution and delivers iron directly to the bloodstream through the dialysis membrane during hemodialysis treatment. The iron in ferric pyrophosphate citrate form binds to transferrin, helping to replenish depleted iron stores and support red blood cell production.
Administered during hemodialysis treatments only. May cause hypersensitivity reactions in some patients. Iron parameters (serum ferritin and transferrin saturation) should be monitored regularly. Not indicated for patients not on hemodialysis. Discuss any history of iron overload disorders with your healthcare provider before use.
