Effect of roxadustat on lowering blood lipids in peritoneal dialysis patients with anemia. To observe the effect of roxadustat on lowering blood lipids in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients beyond treating anemia. In a prospective, multicenter clinical study, we randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) 100 PD patients who had received erythropoiesis-stimulating agent therapy for at least 4 weeks to receive either roxadustat or erythropoietin (EPO) for 48 weeks. The blood lipids, hemoglobin, blood pressure, blood glucose, iron metabolism and inflammatory factors were compared between the two groups at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 48 weeks, respectively. At start of switching to roxadustat, hemoglobin seemed to rise a little faster (102.8 ± 15.4 vs. 97.1 ± 17.3 g/L at 2 weeks, > 0.05
