Determinants of hyperphosphatemia and its relation with hemoglobin levels among hemodialysis patients in two hospitals from Syria: a prospective cross-sectional study.

A high prevalence of hyperphosphatemia and anemia was encountered among this sample of HD patients from Syria. There was no correlation between phos and Hb levels in contrast to previous conflicting studies, which mandates future studies to evaluate this correlation and further efforts to determine the range of phos that could have a benefit on anemia with respect to other comorbidities.
