I am trying new and customized doses of EPO. Some of our patients are really sensitive to starting and stopping their Epo. I have a few who I am trying weekly doses, with using Venofer as a booster. I repeatedly see, low Tsat/high Ferr, with or without high or low Hgb. I've used Venofer times 10, 5, and weekly, which has seemed to help raise the Tsat's above 59%.
