Background In pediatric kidney transplant recipients, anemia is common and oftentimes multifactorial. Hemoglobin concentrations may be affected by traditional factors, such as kidney function and iron status, as well as novel parameters, such as fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Methods Here, we...
