Intravenous iron does not affect the rate of decline of residual renal function in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The preservation residual renal function (RRF) is important for adequacy of peritoneal dialysis. Oxidative stress from intravenous (IV) iron has been shown to cause renal damage. The effect of IV iron on RRF has not been studied. Here, we report our experience during April 1999-March 2005 of the effect of IV iron on RRF. The study group included 24 patients (9 men, 15 women). The mean age of the group was 61 +/- 17.7 years. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the underlying cause of end-stage renal disease in 55% of the patients. We found serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, urea clearance, urine output, hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin all to be statistically significantly different before and after administration of IV iron to the patients. However, the rate at which the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declined over time did not change significantly when calculated for the period before and after the iron infusion, suggesting that the changes we observed after IV iron infusion were the result of the declining RRF--the rate of that decline being unaffected by the IV iron. Furthermore, the rate of GFR decline in this study was similar to that previously reported in our patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
