    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.
