    "Future directions
    There is clear evidence regarding the ability of ESAs to increase
    Hb and avoid transfusions. There is also evidence of harm
    associated with their use. Perhaps the most pressing need for
    additional research is studies that further clarify the mechanisms of
    harm and, particularly, the groups of patients or circumstances of
    clinical use that are least associated with these risks. This understanding
    is paramount to the ability of clinicians to extend the
    benefit of these drugs while reducing the risks."
