Chapters provide a detailed analysis of the current science of anemia, approaches to different patient populations, comorbid conditions and nutritional aspects of anemia. Novel therapies focused on physiological pathways are introduced and discussed. Controversies from the perspective of subspecialists focused in treating major causes of anemia within their specific disciplines are also presented.
