Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
aboratroy test to control if plasma-phosphate declines below 2.0 mg/dl on the following time-points:<br>1. one measurement 1 day after administration of the iron-compound,<br>2. one measurement in the time period 5 to 9 days after administration of the iron compound,<br>3. one measurement in the time period 33 to 37 days after administration of the iron compound.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the effects of iron substitution with either ferric carboxymaltose or iron isomaltoside 1000 in patients with irondeficiency anemia on<br>(1) Plasma phosphate (absolute [?] and relative [%] changes),<br>(2) Fractional phosphate urinary excretion,<br>(3) Plasma vitamin D (active, inactive),<br>(4) Plasma fibroblast growth factor (FGF-23) (intact und c-terminal),<br>(5) Plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH)<br>(6) Calcium level<br>(7) Plasma Alkaline Phosphatase<br>(8) Plasma soluble Klotho<br>(9) Plasma Hepcidine-25<br>(10) Serum N-Terminal Propeptide of Type I Collagen (PINP)<br>(11) Pyridinoline (PYD) in the urine<br>(12) Quality of life and<br>(13) Electrophysiological changes, quantified as<br>a. incidence of cardiac arrhythmias in 24 hour ambulatory ECG,<br>b. QT-time in 12-lead ECG and<br>c. QT-dispersion in 12-lead ECG.<br>(14) Echocardiography<br>(15) Monocyte subpopulations
