<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Renal anemia is one of the most important complications in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Telehealth-based dialysis registration systems have advantage real-time monitoring and gradually been applied to management chronic diseases. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The objective our study was evaluate impact a telehealth-based system MHD terms renal control. <title>METHODS</title> Red China project aimed develop based WeChat mobile platform. Demographic baseline laboratory parameters such as age, gender, primary disease, creatinine levels were recorded using this system. In addition, hemoglobin hematocrit monthly. platform then generated statistics report for each center monthly, including detection rate, target distribution released it physicians via phone app. able treat individual’s appropriately by changing doses erythropoiesis-stimulating agents or iron use basis report. We analyzed demographic parameters, average level 28 months after launch project. <title>RESULTS</title> A total 8392 from centers Shanghai enrolled June 2015 October 2017. rate increased 54.18% 73.61% (P&lt;.001), 47.55% 56.07% mean 10.83 (SD 1. 60) g/dL 11.07 1.60) (P&lt;.001). proportion with ≥11 but &lt;13 40.40% 47.48%. <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This can provide timely reporting status MHD, which may improve awareness attention compliance monitoring.
