Erythropoietin Resistance in Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Our goal of this pilot project is to identify inflammatory biomarkers that correlate with epo-resistance among CKD patients.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Epo-resistant Patients with CKD (estimated GFR < 60cc/min) not on hemodialysis who are receiving greater than or equal to 100IU/kg/week of epoetin alpha and/or 1mcg/kg/week darbepoetin to obtain target hemoglobin or hematocrit. |
|
Epo-responsive Patients with CKD (estimated GFR < 60cc/min) not on hemodialysis who are requiring <100IU/kg/week of epoetin alpha and/or 1mcg/kg/week of darbepoetin to obtain target hemoglobin/hematocrit. |
