[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2516841, member: 196898"] Apparently one of the treatments applied to chronic kidney patients is iron replacement where iron is given as a supplement. This is standard therapy apparently. So the study we have been discussing here goes against current practice by reducing iron to very low levels. However it may have some validity as too much iron is known to be toxic. [URL]https://www.news-medical.net/news/2004/08/02/3708.aspx[/URL] One effect of CKD especially for those receiving dialysis is iron to deal with the inherent renal anemia. So reducing iron in CKD patients may well be harmful. I certainly think the authors of the study were chasing a different agenda. Their explanation did not make sense and referenced out to unconnected 'symptoms' and events. I expect their paper to be avidly quoted as proof of a vgetarian WOE prolonging life expectancy. Unfortunately it has an inherent and systemic bias. [/QUOTE]
