What is it about?
This study showed that the target of hemoglobin in dialysis patients in order to improve survival might be different when comparing patients with and without diabetes. Patients without diabetes might benefit from a hemoglobin target between 11 and 12 whereas patients with diabetes might do better with a hemoglobin between 10 and 11.

Guidelines recommend an average target of hemoglobin around 11.5. Individualization of treatment might improve outcomes.
