Erythropoiesis‐stimulating agent (ESA) hyporesponsiveness is an important cause for the undertreatment of anaemia. A decrease in haemoglobin (Hb) levels was observed during the initial stage of the conversion from ESA to roxadustat. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of adding roxadustat to an ESA for the treatment of ESA‐hyporesponsive anaemia in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).
