This statement is incorrect. Erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) do not reduce the risk of blood clot formation. They are specific to stimulating the production of red blood cells.
This statement is incorrect. Erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) do not enhance kidney function and filtration. They target the production of red blood cells to address anemia associated with ESRD and dialysis.
