A prospective comparison of epoetin beta pegol and darbepoetin alpha in the variability of blood pressure in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Phase 4
Conditions
Chronic kidney disease anemia
Registration Number
JPRN-UMIN000008505
Lead Sponsor
Department of Medical Science and Cardiorenal Medicine, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Office/ambulatory BP, renal function, and other parameters were not significantly different between groups. Although office/ambulatory BP profiles had not worsened after 24 weeks of ESA treatment, more than half of the patients required an increase in the antihypertensive agent dose.
