| Abstract |
Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children, and dysregulation of iron homeostasis plays a central role in its pathogenesis. Optimizing iron status is a prerequisite for effective treatment of anemia. Insufficient iron can lead to inappropriate escalation of the erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) dose, which is associated with adverse outcomes. Excess iron supplementation also has negative sequelae including free radical tissue damage and increased risk of systemic infection. Notwithstanding the importance of optimizing bioavailable iron for erythropoiesis for children with advanced CKD, achieving this remains challenging for pediatric nephrologists due to the historical lack of practical and robust measures of iron status. In recent years, novel techniques have come to the fore to facilitate accurate and practical assessment of iron balance. These measures are the focus of this review, with emphasis on their relevance to the pediatric CKD population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 April 2019.
All research outputs
#4,011,468
of 23,043,346 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#568
of 3,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,560
of 327,033 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#16
of 65 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,043,346 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,591 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,033 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 65 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
