title: Case study of the anemic patient: epoetin alfa--focus on protocols.
abstract: The complex task of managing the anemia caused by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is more easily accomplished when the patient care team uses a protocol as a guide. The protocol outline presented in this article facilitates the management of patients with ESRD who are receiving Epoetin alfa. A case study is used to illustrate the clinical application of the protocol.
