Moderator:
It is now my very, very great pleasure to introduce Dr. David Van Wyck. He is no stranger to us. He is a professor of medicine and surgery at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, and he is chair of the K/DOQI Anemia Work Group. Dr. Van Wyck earned his medical degree at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Then, he undertook a research fellowship in surgical biology, and completed both his residency in internal medicine and fellowship in nephrology. Dr. Van Wyck has written or contributed to books, book chapters, articles, and abstracts on basic iron metabolism and reticuloendothelial function, and on clinical aspect of iron and anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. He pursues active research in anemia and iron deficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease, and he regularly reviews manuscripts for the major nephrology journals. Dr. Van Wyck served on the K/DOQI anemia work group that developed evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of chronic renal failure. He assumed chair responsibilities in 2002. Frequently invited to speak, Dr. Van Wyck has lectured on issues in anemia and iron management, protocol development in the treatment of dialysis-associated anemia, and new approaches to iron and erythropoietin replacement therapy. Please help me welcome Dr. Van Wyck as he produces for better control in CKD improving anemia management.

Dr. Van Wyck:
It is a pleasure to be back here. The last time I was at this meeting was in my hometown, Phoenix, Arizona, a couple of hours in Savannah for the spring meetings. Those are fun.

We are here today to talk about anemia, my favorite topic. We are talking about anemia today with a twist. Joel is going to talk about issues of anemia management that are beyond the detail. I am going to talk about some new information about iron, its structure and chemistry, and some of the implications of that for clinical practice. Michelle Turgeon is here from the management perspective to talk on a unique topic, which is managing anemia management. I think that has probably never been done before.
