PRevention of End Stage Kidney Disease by Darbepoetin Alfa In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With nondiabeTic Kidney Disease

NCT01581073 ↗

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

The purpose of this study is to ask whether treating non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with GFR 8-20mL/min/1.73m2 by darbepoetin Alfa targeting Hb between 11.0 and 13.0g/dL preserves renal function better than targeting Hb between 9.0 and11.0g/dL. The investigators also ask whether the higher Hb targeting 11 to 13g/dL will not cause higher adverse events regarding cardiovascular diseases compared with lower Hb targeting 9 to 11g/dL.
