Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Initial Hb concentrations = 110g/L (males and females)

2. Calculated GFR = 35mL/min (= 50mL/min for diabetics)

3. Demonstration of a clinically significant rise in creatinine and/or a drop in Hb
concentration in the previous 18 months. If such data are not available, the
investigator will make a decision regarding eligibility based on the clinical
circumstances.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Age > 80

2. Pregnancy*

3. Unstable ischaemic heart disease*

4. Uncontrolled, severe, congestive cardiac failure

5. Haemochromatosis or iron overload* (ferritin >300µg/L and TSAT >25%)

6. Liver failure

7. Myelodysplastic syndromes or monoclonal gammopathies

8. Active malignancy or gastrointestinal bleeding*

9. Persistent sepsis* or significant chronic inflammation (CRP > 25)*

10. Iron deficiency* (Ferritin <30ug/L and Tsat <15%)or other haematinic disorder

11. Active and significant haemolysis*

12. Previous organ transplantation

13. Concurrent or significant past (>6 months) immuno-suppression

14. Adult polycystic kidney disease

15. Current use of an ESA

16. On dialysis *: patients can still be considered eligible after condition is reversed
or treated



Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 80 Years
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Anemia
Kidney Failure
Intervention(s)
Drug: Iron sucrose
Primary Outcome(s)
The primary endpoint will be the change in Hb concentration at 12 months or termination (dialysis, commencement of an ESA). Minimum permitted enrolment is 6 months.
Secondary Outcome(s)
The secondary endpoints will be the change in renal function (calculated creatinine clearance), the quality of life, the time taken to dialysis, the time from randomization to the requirement of an ESA and the number of hospitalization days.
